Answer:

The equation to find the number did cupcakes bought in all =

= 3c + 7c

= c(3 + 7)

The total number Betty bought in all = 240 cupcakes.

Explanation:

Let the amount of cupcakes in a package be represented by c

Betty bought 3 packages of chocolate cupcakes and 7 packages of vanilla cupcakes.

The equation to find the number did cupcakes bought in all =

3 × c + 7 × c

= 3c + 7c

= c(3 + 7)

Each package contains 24 cupcakes

The total number = 3(24) + 7(24)

= 240 cupcakes.
