Question

If 18 cupcakes cost $44.64. How much would 20 cupcakes cost?

Answer 1

First you have to get the cost of one cupcake

18/44.60=2.48

So one cupcake would cost $2.48

Next multiply the cost of one cupcake by 20

2.47 x 20=49.6

The cost of 20 cupcakes would be $49.60

Answer 2

20 cupcakes will cost $49.60. You divide 44.64 by 18 and get 2.48. Multiply 2.48 by two getting 4.96. Then you add 44.64 and 4.96 together and get your answer.
