Question

Trini plans to order 48 cupcakes for her best friend's birthday party. She searched online for pricingand the average per cupcake was $2. Instead she bought two boxes of cake mix, some frosting, cupcakeliners and 48 gold eatable hearts to put on top of the cupcakes. She spent a total of $12, went homeand baked the cupcakes. How much did she save?

Answer 1

How much she saved = what she planned to spend - how much she actaully spent

how much she planned to spend => $48 x 2(average amount per cup cake) = $96

amount spent = $12

Amount saved = $96 - $ 12 =$84
