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!!

How many solutions does 5(x+2)-3=3x-8x+7 have
Kryger [21]

Answer:

One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5(x + 2) - 3 = 3x - 8x + 7

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Distribute 5:</u> 5x + 10 - 3 = 3x - 8x + 7

<u>Combine like terms:</u> 5x + 7 = -5x + 7

<u>Add 5x to both sides:</u> 10x + 7 = 7

<u>Subtract 7 on both sides:</u> 10x = 0

<u>Divide both sides by 10:</u> x = 0

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.</em>

5(0 + 2) - 3 = 3(0) - 8(0) + 7

5(2) - 3 = 7

10 - 3 = 7

7 = 7

Express 1500ml as a percentage of 7.5 litres?
aniked [119]
First of all change <span>milliliters</span> to litres.

1500 ml = 1,5 l

Now, 
you know that 7,5 l = 100% (the whole amound)
and you are asking how much is: 1,5 l of the whole, so you got:

7,5 = 100%
1,5 = x%

7,5 x = 150
x = 150 / 7,5
x = 20%

Answer: 1500 ml is a 20% of the 7,5 litres.
