Question

Allison, Brianna, and Celeste went on a hike. Allison brought 9 homemade

Answer 1

Answer:

Allison = $0.27

Brianna = $1.89

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cookies that the three girls have are:

Allison's cookies + Brianna's Cookies

= 9+15

=24

There is a total of 24 cookies which has to be divided between the 3.

So

Each girl gets 24/3 = 8 cookies.

Since Celeste had no cookies she will have to pay for the 8 cookies.

Allison had 9, she will give one to Celeste

Brianna had 15 out of which she will use 8 for her self and 7 will be given to Celeste.

Celeste is paying 2.16 for 8 cookies.

Price of one cookie = 2.16/8

=$0.27

So, amount that will be given to Allison = 0.27 * 1 = $0.27

Amount that will be given to Brianna = 0.27 * 7 = $1.89
