Olivia ordered 24 cupcakes and a layer of cake. The layer cost $16 and the total cost of the order was $52. What was the price o
f each cupcake
2 answers:
$16 was only for the layer.
$52-$16= cost of the cupcakes in total.
$36=cost of all cupcakes
36/24= cost of one cupcake
1.5= cost of one cupcake
each cupcake costs $1.50
Your equation is 24x + 16 = 52 where x is the cost of each individual cupcake.
First step is to take away the 16 from each side so that we only have the cupcakes to deal with the overall cost without the cake.
52 - 16 = 36.
Your new equation is 24x = 36
Divide both sides by 24 to isolate the variable x.
x = 36/24 = 1.5 or 1.50
The cost of each cupcake is $1.50.

Answer:
243/506
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 24 total juice boxes.
18 of them are not grape
You have an 18/24 chance of picking not grape juice
The second time, 1 is removed, then another is removed. This creates:
(18/24)*(18/23)*(18/22) = 243/506
