Question

Monique is throwing a birthday party and wants to buy an assortment of desserts. She buys a cake for $25, a gallon of ice cream for $4.50, and (c) cupcakes for $1.50 each. If she wants to spend at most $45 how many cupcakes can she purchase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

She wants to spend $45. Take the 45-25 for the cake.

$20.00 left. Ice cream is $4.50 20-4.50= 15.50 left

$15.50 divided by the cost of each cupcake $1.50

15.50/1.50=10 cup cakes
