1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- The<span> rectangular deck has the following dimensions: 12 ft by 14 ft. - When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288 ft</span>².
Let x be the price of a cupcake.
There are 24 cupcakes so it will be 24x.
Solution:

24x=52-16
24x=36
Divide both sides by 24
X=1.5.
The price of each cupcake is 1.5$
