Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Answer:
5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To change minutes to hours you will have to divide the total minutes by 60 (because 60 minutes is in one hour), in this situation it would look like this:
180/60 = 3
So, Alexa babysat for 3 hours on Saturday.
Now, just add the 3 hours from Saturday and 2 hours from Sunday and you get a total of 5 hours!

Answer:
$70
Step-by-step explanation:
Middletown Equation:
1c +50 = T
Sweet Shoppe Equation:
2c + 30 = T
Set equations equal to one another and solve for first for cupcakes then for cost.
1c + 50 = 2c + 30
c+ 20 = 2c
20 = c (twenty cupcakes would be ordered)
Now insert into either equation ( or both to check)
1(20) + 50 = 70
2(20)+ 30 = 70
Total cost would be $70

Answer: it’s the third one
Step-by-step explanation:
It is
Answer:
The answer to your question is $1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total amount of cupcakes = 50
Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups
Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69
2 cups = 1 pound
Total cost = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed
2 cups ------------------ 1 pound
3.5 cups --------------- x
x = (3.5 x 1) / 2
x = 3.5 / 2
x = 1.75 pounds
2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds
5 pounds -------------- $3.69
1.75 pounds ---------- x
x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5
x = 6.46/5
x = $1.29
3.- Conclusion
The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29
