Subtraction: 18 - b
Addition: 18 + b
Multiplication: 18b, or 18 x b

Answer:
$19 for one package of oatmeal cookie dough and $14 for one package of chocolate chip cookie dough
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to set up two equations: one that shows how much money Mike made and one that shows how much money Shawna made.
Let's make a = price for one chocolate chip cookie dough and b = price for one oatmeal cookie dough.
First equation for Mike: 12a + 3b = 225
Second equation for Shawna: 6a + 11b = 293
Next we isolate b from Mike's equation: b = 75 - 4a
Then we plug this equation into Shawna's equation and we get:
6a + 11(75 - 4a) = 293
Solving for a would get us 14, or $14 for one chocolate chip cookie dough.
If we plug 14 = a into Mike's original equation and solve for b, we get b = 19, or $19 for one oatmeal cookie dough.
