If she made 1 Dozen (12) and he kids ate 3, (12-3= 9), she needs to make how many more cupcakes, and since we can use a variable, c + 9 = 24 (Because she promised to bring 24------She would need to make 15 more cupcakes)
Its 11/12 , you need to divide the "wanted results" (every dog which is either black, with spots or both ) by every every possible result ( all dogs ). so 11/12=0.92
