To find out how many cookies Cookie A and Cookie B make from one cup of sugar, we need to evaluate the information provided.

From the table for Cookie A:

  • At 2 cups of sugar, Cookie A produces 80 cookies.
  • At 3 cups of sugar, Cookie A produces 120 cookies.
  • At 4 cups of sugar, Cookie A produces 160 cookies.

To find out how many cookies Cookie A makes from one cup of sugar, we see that with 2 cups, there are 80 cookies, so:

  • For 1 cup of sugar: \( \frac{80 \text{ cookies}}{2 \text{ cups}} = 40 \text{ cookies per cup} \).

According to the graph mentioned in your description:

  • The point (1, 36) represents Cookie B, which indicates it produces 36 cookies for 1 cup of sugar.

Now let's compare the two:

  • Cookie A makes 40 cookies per cup of sugar.
  • Cookie B makes 36 cookies per cup of sugar.

So, Cookie A makes more cookies than Cookie B from one cup of sugar.

The correct response is: Cookie A makes more cookies than Cookie B from one cup of sugar. Cookie A makes 40 cookies, and Cookie B makes 36 cookies from one cup of sugar.
