Question

Katie has already baked 24 cakes, and she can bake 1 cake with each additional stickof butter she buys. How many additional sticks of butter does Katie need in order to bake a total of 49 cakes?

Answer 1

she needs 25 sticks of butter

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that for each additional butter stick, she can bake 1 cake

She wants to bake a total 49

We already have 24 baked

So what is left would be;

49-24 = 25 cakes

So she needs exactly this number of butter sticks
