Answer:
a) The expression for the total number of
= 2(x + y)
= 2x + 2y
b) Evaluate the expression to find the total number of cupcakes and cookies Darren sells in 2 days.
160
Explanation:
a) Write an expression to represent the total number of cupcakes and cookies Darren sells in 2 days.
Let the number of cupcakes Darren sells in a day = x
The number of cookies Darren sells in a day = y
The expression for the total number of
= 2(x + y)
= 2x + 2y
Darren owns a bakery. Each day, he bakes 48 cupcakes. He gives away 4 and sells the rest.
Hence, The amount of cupcakes Darren sells = 48 - 4
x = 44 cup cakes
Each day, he also bakes 36 cookies. He gives away 6 and sells the rest.
The amount of cookies Darren sells
= 36 - 6
y = 30 cookies
b) Evaluate the expression to find the total number of cupcakes and cookies Darren sells in 2 days.
The total number of cupcakes and cookies Darren sells in 2 days is
= 2(44 + 36)
= 2(44) + 2(36)
= 88 + 72
= 160
