    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the normal price of each cookie.

    Today each cookie costs 0.75 less than the normal price. This means that the price of buying one cookie today would be

    x - 0.75

    Right now it you buy 7 of them it will only cost you 2.80. Therefore, the equation to determine the normal price of each cookie would be expressed as

    7 (x - 0.75) = 2.80

    Expanding the brackets, it becomes

    7x - 5.25 = 2.8

    7x = 2.8 + 5.25

    7x = 8.05
