Question

And I is throwing money at birthday party. She has $100 to spend. She buys a cake for $30, a giant balloon for $20, and 10 cups that each cost the same price. Create and solve any equation to determine the cost of each cup.

Answer 1

$5 per cup

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

total amount = $100

cost of cake=$30

cost of balloon=$20

let the cost of 1 cup be x

so cost of ten cups = 10x

Step two:

The expression for the total amount is given as

100=30+20+10x

100=50+10

100-50=10x

50=10x

divide both sides by 10

x=50/10

x=$5

the cost of one cup is $5

the cost of ten cups is 5*10= $50
