He sells cupcakes for $3.00 each and muffins for $2.00 each and makes a total of $208which equations could be used to represent this situation? select all that apply?A.) 2m + 3c = 84B.) c + m = 84C.) c + m = 208D.) 3c + 2m = 208

Answer 1

Let be "m" the number of muffins Fernando sells and "c" the number of cupcakes Fernando sells.

According to the information given in the exercise, Fernando sells a total of 84 items on Sunday. This can be represented with this equation:

`c+m=84`

You know that Fernando makes a total of $208. Then, knowing the price of each cupcake and each muffin, you can set up the following equation:

`3c+2m=208`

That means that the sum of "m" muffins multiplied by $2.00 and "c" cupcakes multiplied by $3.00, gives a total of $208.

Therefore, the answer is: Option B and Option D.
