Answer:
The equation to determine the normal price of each cookie is
7(x - 0.75) = 2.80
The normal price of each cookie = $1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the normal price of a cookie as : x
We are told that:
Today each cookie costs \$0.75less than the normal price.
The price of a cookie today is
x - 0.75
Right now if you buy 7 of them it will only cost you \$2.80$
Hence:
7(x - 0.75) = 2.80
Solving for x
7x - 5.25 = 2.80
7x = 2.80 + 5.25
7x = 8.05
x = 8.05/7
x = $1.15
The normal price of each cookie = $1.15
