Last night I went to Walmart and looked at 2 other types, because the cost question was bothering me. Use this information to figure out the cost of a wafer and a serving of filling in each of these (Compare each to a regular Oreo)
Amount of filling / Number of CookiesDouble Stuff / Double the regular / 30
Mega Stuff / Triple the regular / 20
What conclusion can you make about cost of Oreo cookies?
