Question

5. Mrs. Perkins hosts a birthday party for her son and 7 guests. She orders 2 cookies and a

cupcake for each child. The cost of the cupcake is $2.75, and the total bill is $46.00. What is the
cost of a cookie?

Answer 1

$1.375

Explanation:

7guests + 1son = 8children

8 (children) x 2.75 (dollars-per-cupcake) = 22

46 (total cost) - 22 (dollars spend on cupcakes) = 24

24 (left) / 16 (number of cookies needed (each child gets two)) = 1.375

Answer 2

Below.

Explanation:

In total there are 8 kids. Each cupcake is 2.75 so 8x2.75= 22 now the total is 46.00 So? 46-22 = 24. 24 divided by 2 = 12.

I Divided by 12 because they said cost of each individual cookie.
