Question

Every day at his bakery, Barry bakes 12 fewer cupcakes than scones. Write an equation if s represent the number of scones baked during a day and c represent the number of cupcakes baked during the same day.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, set up the variables s for scones and c for cupcakes, we know that Barry always bakes 12 less cupcakes than scones so the equation representing that would be:

c=s-12 This equation means that the amount of cupcakes is always 12 less than the amount of scones.
