For a birthday party, mr. perkins orders 8 chocolate chip cookies and 16 sugar cookies. each cookie is the same price. he also picks up a cupcake for himself, which costs $2.75. the total bill is $44.03. what is the cost of a cookie?

A cookie costs $1.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Perkins orders 8 chocolate chip cookies and 16 sugar cookies.

Since cost of both the cookies are same then we assume the cost of cookies = $x

Total cost of the cookies = (8 + 16)x

= 24x

He picks a cupcake which costs $2.75.

Now the cost of cookies and a cupcake will be = 24x + 2.75

Total bill he pays = $44.03

Therefore, the expression which represents the cost will be

44.03 = 24x + 2.75

24x = 44.03 - 2.75

24x = 41.28

x =

x = 1.72

Cost of the cookie will be $1.72.

step-by-step explanation:

$11.01

$16

$15

$4

hope this

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
