Jenny bought 6 cookies and 6 cupcakes at the bakery. The cookies were $1.50 each, but she cannot remember how much each cupcake was. She paid $21 total. How much was each cupcake?(1 point) Responses $1.50 $1.50 $12.00 $12.00 $2.00 $2.00 $2.50
Let's set up the equation using the given information. Let's say the cost of each cupcake is C.
The cost of 6 cookies is 6 * $1.50 = $<<6*1.50=9>>9.
The cost of 6 cupcakes is 6C.
The total cost is $21.
So the equation is 9 + 6C = 21.
Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation, we get 6C = 12.
Dividing both sides by 6, we find that C = $2.00.
Therefore, each cupcake costs $2.00. Answer: $2.00.
