Answer:

$1.72 per cookie.

Explanation:

First things first, subtract the amount of cupcake cost (2.75)

44.03 - 2.75 = 41.28.

Next we add up the amount of cookies he ordered.

8 + 16 = 24

Now we divide 41.28 (the cost minus the cupcake) by 24 (the amount of cookies) to get the amount per cookie.

41.28 ÷ 24 = 1.72

Therefore the answer is 1.72 per cookie.
