cookies are on sale right now! today each cookie costs $0.75 less than normal price. right now if you buy 7 of them it will only cost you $2.80!

Let's solve this by determining the regular price of each cookie.

Let the normal price of each cookie be $ p $.

According to the problem, today each cookie costs $ 0.75 $ dollars less than the regular price, so the sale price of each cookie is $ p - 0.75 $.

The total cost for 7 cookies is $ 2.80 $ dollars. Thus, the equation for the total cost is:

\[
7 \times (p - 0.75) = 2.80
\]

Now, let's solve for $ p $:

\[
7p - 5.25 = 2.80
\]
\[
7p = 2.80 + 5.25
\]
\[
7p = 8.05
\]
\[
p = \frac{8.05}{7}
\]
\[
p \approx 1.15
\]

So, the normal price of each cookie is approximately **$1.15**.
