Explanation:

if chocolate chip cookies are $2.00/dozen and lemon frosted cookies $2.50/dozen

Let c represents the number of dozen of chocolate chip cookies

and L represents the number of dozen lemon frosted

Cost of chocolate chip cookies are $2.00/dozen

Cost of 'c' chocolate chip cookies are 2.00c

Cost of lemon frosted cookies $2.50/dozen

Cost of 'L' lemon frosted cookies are 2.50L

T represents total charge.

`T= 2.00c+2.50L`
