Complete Question

A baker's dozen (13) of cookies is on sale for $2.08. What is the cost of an individual cookie?

Answer:

The cost of an individual cookie is $0.16

Explanation:

Given

Specifically, it was stated that the baker's dozen is 13 pieces

Hence. A dozen cookies = 13 cookies

Price of a dozen cookies = $2.08

In other words, the price of 13 cookies is $2.08

To get the cost of an individual cookie, we have to divide the price of a dozen cookies by the number of cookies. This is calculated as follows:

`Cost of Cookies = (Price of Cookies)/(Number of Cookies)`

By Substituting the right values,

`Cost of Cookies = (Price of Cookies)/(Number of Cookies)`

becomes

`Cost of Cookies = (2.08)/(13)`

`Cost of Cookies = 0.16`

Hence, the cost of an individual cookie is $0.16
