Question

Olivia ordered 24 cupcakes and a layer cake costs 16$ and the total cost of the order was 52$ what was the price of each cupcake

Answer 1

Let x be the price of a cupcake. There are 24 cupcakes so it will be 24x. Solution: 24x+16=52 24x=52-16 24x=36 Divide both sides by 24 X=1.5. The price of each cupcake is 1.5$
