Answer 1

To find the cookie that yields the most cookies from one cup of sugar, we need to calculate the cookies per cup of sugar for both Cookie A and Cookie B.

For Cookie A:
- With 2 cups of sugar, Cookie A makes 80 cookies, so 80 cookies / 2 cups = 40 cookies per cup of sugar.
- With 3 cups of sugar, Cookie A makes 120 cookies, so 120 cookies / 3 cups = 40 cookies per cup of sugar.
- With 4 cups of sugar, Cookie A makes 160 cookies, so 160 cookies / 4 cups = 40 cookies per cup of sugar.

So, Cookie A makes 40 cookies from one cup of sugar.

Here is Cookie A's data represented as a table:

| Cups | Cookies |
|------|---------|
| 2 | 80 |
| 3 | 120 |
| 4 | 160 |

For Cookie B:
- With 2 cups of sugar, Cookie B makes 60 cookies, so 60 cookies / 2 cups = 30 cookies per cup of sugar.
- With 3 cups of sugar, Cookie B makes 90 cookies, so 90 cookies / 3 cups = 30 cookies per cup of sugar.
- With 4 cups of sugar, Cookie B makes 120 cookies, so 120 cookies / 4 cups = 30 cookies per cup of sugar.

So, Cookie B makes 30 cookies from one cup of sugar.

Here is Cookie B's data represented as a table:

| Cups | Cookies |
|------|---------|
| 2 | 60 |
| 3 | 90 |
| 4 | 120 |

From this analysis, we can see that Cookie A yields the most cookies from one cup of sugar with 40 cookies.
