Answer 1

Answer:

$0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The ratio of number of cookies to the cost of cookies as:

Number of cookies : Cost of cookies = 15 : 9

It means, we get 15$x$ number of cookies when we pay $9$x$.

To find:

An equivalent ratio to represent the cost of 1 cookie.

Solution:

Here, we have to find nothing but the unit price or the price of 1 cookie.

This can simply be done by dividing the total cost of cookies with the total number of cookies.

Total cost of 15$x$ cookies is given as $9$x$

Using unitary method:

Let us divide both the sides with 15$x$, we get:

Total cost of $\frac{15x}{15x}$ cookies is given as $\frac{\ 9x}{15x}$

Total cost of 1 cookie is given as $0.60
