Question

Ericka is selling more baked goods. This time she

has cupcakes for $1.50 each and brownies for $0.80
each. She makes a total of $30 and sold 15
brownies. Write and solve an equation to determine
how many cupcakes she sold.

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

to find how much she made off of brownies, use this equation

15×.8=$12

then, to find how much she made off of cupcakes, subtract the amount she made off of brownies from the total price

$30 - $12 = $18

lastly, to find how many cupcakes could be bought with $18, divide 1.5 from 18

18 ÷ 1.5 = 12

so 13 cupcakea
