Answer:

Good style in solving such problems is to notice/(to observe) immediately from the condition that the difference

   between two combinations is  the cost of 2 cookies,  and it is equal to  $9 - $7 = $2.   So  2 cookies cost  $2.

   Then subtracting $2 dollars for 2 cookies from the Greg purchase, you got the cost of two bottles - it is equal to  $7 - $2 = $5.

   Answer.  A bottle of water costs  $2.50.
