a dozen chocolate cookies cost $ and a dozen oatmeal cookies cost $

A dozen chocolate cookies cost $6

and a dozen oatmeal cookies cost $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of 1 dozen chocolate cookies = x

Let cost of 1 dozen oatmeal cookies = y

then we get equations:

9x+8y=110...(i),

and 9x+5y=89...(ii)

Solve equation (i) for x

9x+8y=110

9x=110-8y

...(iii)

plug (iii) into (ii)

9x+5y=89

plug y=7 into (iii)

Hence final answer is given by:

A dozen chocolate cookies cost $6

and a dozen oatmeal cookies cost $7
