There are 18 packets.

Each packet has 10 cookies.

Let T = total number of cookies.

T = 10 (18)

T = 180

There are 180 cookies.

Let C = cost of each cookie.

Use the equation C = 19.80/T.

You know what T is, right? Look above to see the value of T. Plug that T-value into the equation and solve for C.

After that, round your answer as instructed.
