To determine how many cookies Cookie A and Cookie B produce from one cup of sugar, we can analyze the given information:

  1. Cookie A:

    • The table shows that for 2 cups of sugar, there are 80 cookies. Therefore, for 1 cup of sugar: \[ \text{Cookies per cup for Cookie A} = \frac{80 \text{ cookies}}{2 \text{ cups}} = 40 \text{ cookies per cup} \]
  2. Cookie B:

    • The graph indicates that when there is 1 cup of sugar (where x = 1), Cookie B produces 36 cookies.

Based on these calculations:

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

Thus, the 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."
