The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The total number of cookies is 120, and these are divided equally among 4 boxes. So, the number of cookies per box is: \[ \frac{120}{4} = 30 \text{ cookies per box}. \] Next, each box is sold for \(\$\)15, so the price per cookie is: \[ \frac{15}{30} = 0.50 \text{ dollars per cookie}. \] Conclusion: The price per cookie is 0.50 dollars.
