i need help

Answer 1

7 cinnamon rolls

Explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of cinnamon rolls

y ---> the number of other pastries

we know that

The Organic Cafe recently served 9 cinnamon rolls and 9 other pastries

so

The total of served pastries is equal to

(9+9)=18

The ratio of the cinnamon rolls to the total pastries is equal to

9/18=1/2

therefore

For a total of 14 pastries, the number of cinnamon rolls served should be half of the total.

14/2=7 cinnamon rolls
