Question

Adonai is ordering cupcakes for his brother’s birthday party. He is able to purchase 12 cupcakes for $15.75. If Adonai is expecting 36 guests at the party, and each guest will get two cupcakes, how much will it cost him to order all of the cupcakes?

Answer 1

The answer would be $94.50.

You would need 36 cupcakes for every guest to have one, but since they are getting 2, you need double that which would be 72. 72 divided by 12 is 6, multiply 6 times $15.75 to get $94.50.
