Answer: the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough is $1.5
the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough is $2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough.
Let y represent the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough.
Mrs. Julien’s class sold 25 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 30 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $112.50. This means that
25x + 30y = 112.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Mrs. Castillejo’s class sold 8 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 45 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $124.50. This means that
8x + 45y = 124.5 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 25, it becomes
200x + 240y = 900
200x + 1125 = 3112.5
Subtracting, it becomes
- 885y = - 2212.5
y = - 2212.5/- 885
y = 2.5
Substituting y = 2.5 into equation 1, it becomes
25x + 30 × 2.5 = 112.5
25x + 75 = 112.5
25x = 112.5 - 75 = 37.5
x = 37.5/25 = 1.5
The method used is the elimination method. It is more convenient to use.

Step-by-step explanation:
Does it say how many of the marbles in the bag are red? Normally you will want to divide the amount of red marbles to the amount total marbles and you will get a percent. It's also note worthy that it states the marble going back into the bag. It would change if it was left out still.
