To figure this out, you have to find the unit price of both.
The unit price for buying two cupcakes is 24 cents for 1 cupcake.
The unit price for buying 5 cupcakes is 25 cents for 1 cupcake. Therefore, the better buy is to buy two cupcakes. They are one cent less each.

2 for $0.48 is a better buy. You save 1 cent per cupcake.

There's really not much of a difference though.

Ray has found that his new car gets 31 miles per gallon on the highwayand 26 miles per gallon in the city. He recently drove 285

Mkey [24]

Answer:

$Highway = 155\ miles$

$City = 130\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Highway = 31mi/gallon$

$City = 26mi/gallon$

$Total\ Miles = 285$

$Total\ Gallons = 10$

Required

Determine the number of miles driven on the highway and on the city

Represent the gallons used on highway with h and on city with c.

So, we have:

$c + h = 10$ ---- gallons used

and

$31h + 26c = 285$ --- distance travelled

In the first equation, make c the subject

$c = 10 - h$

Substitute 10 - h for c in the second equation

$31h + 26c = 285$

$31h + 26(10 - h) = 285$

Open bracket

$31h + 260 - 26h = 285$

Collect like terms

$31h - 26h = 285 - 260$

$5h = 25$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{25}{5}$

$h = 5$

Substitute 5 for h in $c = 10 - h$

$c = 10 - 5$

$c = 5$

If on the highway, he travels 31 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$Highway = 31 * 5$

$Highway = 155\ miles$

If in the highway, he travels 26 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$City = 26 * 5$

$City = 130\ miles$
