Question

Cadence baked 45 cupcakes on Tuesday. This was 3 more than twice the number of cupcakes she baked on Monday. How many cupcakes did Cadence bake on Monday?

Please give an explanation/step-by-step process on how to solve this. Do not just answer and take points or you will get reported.

Thank you :)

Answer 1

45-3=42
42/2=21
21=cupcakes Cadence baked on Monday.
I’ll explain it more thoroughly.
“3 more than twice the number of cupcakes baked on Monday.” Those words tell you to subtract 3 from 45 and divide by 2 “twice”.
Hope this helped!
