Answer:

8 cookies: 1 cookie =$1.25

12 cookies: 1 cookie =$1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for price per unit is : [tex]\frac{price}{unit}[/tex]

Lets first work out the price per unit for the 8 cookies. You can do this by dividing the price of 10 by the amount of 8, this gives you $1.25. This means that the price per cookie is $1.25.

Now to work out the price per cookie for 12 cookies. You can do this by dividing the price of 16 by the amount of 12, this gives you $1.33. This means that the price per cookie for this offer is $1.33.

1) Divide 10 by 8.

[tex]10/8=1.25[/tex]

2) Divide 16 by 12.

[tex]16/12=1.33[/tex]
