Question

Winnie needs to spend $120 on two kinds of fancy cakes:

Chocolate Delight and Coffee Comfort. The Chocolate cake
sells at 12 dollars per slice and the Coffee cake sells at 10
dollars per slice.
If Winnie buys 5 slices of Chocolate cake, how many slices of
Coffee cake does she buy?
___slices

Answer 1

Winnie needs to buy 6 slices of Coffee cake.

Explanation:

12 * 5= $60 (chocolate cake)

120 - 60= 60

since we know the coffee cake costs $10(per slice) we do:

60/ $10= 6 slices of coffee cake.
