Question

Veronica's birthday was coming up. Her mother bought six packages of cupcake mix. Each package could make 12 cupcakes. 24 people had planned to attend Veronica's party. How many cupcakes would be available for each guest?

Answer 1

3 cupcakes per person

Explanation:

first we need to find the total number of cupcakes so in order to do that we need to multiply the number of mixes and the number of cupcakes each mix would make so:

total number of cupcakes = 6 * 12 = 72

now we can divide it by the total number of people who attended the party so:

72/24 = 3 cupcakes per person
