Answer 1

Complete Question

A baker's dozen (13) of cookies is on sale  for $2.08. What is the cost of an individual  cookie?

Answer:

The cost of an individual cookie is $0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Specifically, it was stated that the baker's dozen is 13 pieces

Hence. A dozen cookies = 13 cookies

Price of a dozen cookies = $2.08

In other words, the price of 13 cookies is $2.08

To get the cost of an individual cookie, we have to divide the price of a dozen cookies by the number of cookies. This is calculated as follows:

$Cost of Cookies = \frac{Price of Cookies}{Number of Cookies}$

By Substituting the right values,

$Cost of Cookies = \frac{Price of Cookies}{Number of Cookies}$  

becomes

$Cost of Cookies = \frac{2.08}{13}$

$Cost of Cookies = 0.16$

Hence, the cost of an individual cookie is $0.16

Answer 2

So taking this as if there are 13 dozens of cookies. First we do 13 times 12 which would be 156 cookies in total. Then 156 cookies times 2.08 is 324.48
