Trevon sold 6 packages of chocolate chip cookie dough and 2 packages of gingerbread cookie dough for a total of $72. Ashley sold 6 packages of chocolate chip cookie and 10 packages or gingerbread cookie dough for a total of $216. What is the cost if each of one package of chocolate chip cookie dough and one package of gingerbread cookie dough

Answer 1

the cost of one package of chocolate chip cookie and one package of ginger bread is $6 and $18 respectively

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of one package of chocolate chip cookie and one package of ginger bread is shown below:

Let us assume the package of chocolate chip cookie be x

And, the package of ginger bread is y

So,

According to the question

6x + 2y = $72

6x + 10y = $216

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2

-8y = -144

y = $18

And, for x it would be

6x + $36 = $72

x = $6

Hence, the cost of one package of chocolate chip cookie and one package of ginger bread is $6 and $18 respectively
