Question

(HELP ASAP PLEASE)

Aunt Gwen is pricing cakes for a baby shower she is throwing. She wants one large cake shaped like a duckling and also some cupcakes in pastel colors. Hillsboro Bakery charges $4 for each cupcake, plus $28 for the large cake. Carson's Sweet Shoppe charges $55 for the large cake and $1 for each cupcake. If Aunt Gwen orders a certain number of cupcakes, the cost will be the same at either bakery. How many cupcakes would that include? What would the total cost be?


If Aunt Gwen orders ___ cupcakes, it will cost $ ___ at either shop.

Answer 1

So first, set up an equation for each shop, for the first one you can write 4x+28 (since it is 4 dollars for each cupcake and 28 dollars for the cake) and for the second shop you can write 55+x ( 55 dollars for cake and a dollar for each cupcake.) now you can set the 2 equations equal to each other because they want the number for cupcakes where the price will be equal. So 4x+28=55+x and then solve. I don’t want to completely tell you the answer but if you are stuck, you can tell me and I will gladly help.

Answer 2

9 cupcakes and 64$
