Hey there!!
The total cost is $52.
She paid $12 more for the layer cake than the cupcake.
Let's take the price of the cupcake as $x. Then, the price of the layer cake would be $12 + x
The sum of these would result in $52.
... x + x + 12 = 52
... 2x + 12 = 52
... 2x = 52 - 12
... 2x = 40
... x = 20
Hence, the price of the cupcake is $20 and the price of the layer cake is $32.
Hope my answer helps!!

Numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers.
Answer: The sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sail boat leaves port and sails 12 kilometers west and then 9 kilometers north.
We are to find the distance between the sailboat from the port in kilometers.
Since the directions west and north are at right-angles, we can visualize the movement of the sailboat in the form of a right-angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.
The sailboat moves leaves the port at P and reach O after sailing 12 km west. From point O, again it moves towards north 9 km and reach the point S.
PS = ?
Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have from right-angled triangle SOP,
Thus, the sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.
