Answer 1

Katie is paying the smaller price of $1.50 per cupcake.

Sarah is paying $0.25 per cupcake more than Katie.

Have a good day.

Answer 2

A is true and D is true because 3 divided by 2 is 1.5 and x is 1 ( the number of cupcakes she is buying) so the total she is paying for is 1.50 while if you notice the pattern in cake me they are charging 1.75 per cupcake. (7.00 - 1.75 = 5.25)
