From the information provided in the table, Cookie A yields 80 cookies from 2 cups of sugar. This means that for 1 cup of sugar, Cookie A would make:
\[ \text{Cookies per cup for Cookie A} = \frac{80 \text{ cookies}}{2 \text{ cups}} = 40 \text{ cookies per cup} \]
For Cookie B, although the exact yields are not provided in your question, if we assume they yield a certain number of cookies (such as the options given do), we can analyze accordingly.
Based on the responses given:
- Cookie A makes 40 cookies, and Cookie B makes 36 cookies from one cup of sugar.
- Cookie A makes 80 cookies, and Cookie B makes 36 cookies from one cup of sugar.
It appears Cookie A yields 40 cookies from one cup of sugar (this matches whatever the 2 cups yield divided by 2).
Among the options available, the correct response based on calculation:
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.
If Cookie B were to yield another amount (like 72 cookies), it would have to yield 144 cookies for 2 cups, which is not provided in your question.
So, without further information on Cookie B's yield, we conclude:
- Cookie A makes 40 cookies from one cup of sugar.
