The cost of a lemonade is $1.5 while that of a cookie is $0.75.

Equation

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the cost of a lemonade and y represent the cost of a cookie, hence:

9x + 11y = 21.75   (1)

Also

22x + 14y = 43.50  (2)

From equation 1 and 2:

x = 1.5, y = 0.75

The cost of a lemonade is $1.5 while that of a cookie is $0.75.
