Answer:
72 cupcakes
Step-by-step explanation:
Morgan can make 4 cupcakes with one cup of flour. She has 18 cups of flour and suppose she can make x cupcakes, then
1 cup of flour - 4 cupcakes
18 cups of flour - x cupcakes
Write a proportion:
Cross multiply:
A function that would represent profit based on the number of cups of lemonade is Profit = 1.5n - 14
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Some kids are selling lemonade for $1.50 per cup at a high school baseball game.
They spent $14 on all of the items needed for the lemonade stand (cups, lemonade, table oth, sign, etc)
We have to create a function that would represent profit based on the number of cups of lemonade
Now, let the number of cups sold be "n"
Then , we know that,<em> profit = selling price – cost price </em>
Profit = number of cups sold x price per cup – cost price
Profit = n x $ 1.5 – $ 14
Profit = 1.5n – 14
Hence, the function is Profit = 1.5n - 14
5x - 3y = 11 ⇒ 5x - 3y = 11 ⇒ 5x - 3y = 11
x - 2y = 2 ⇒ -5(x - 3y) = 2 ⇒ <u>-5x + 15y = 2</u>
<u>12y</u> = <u>13</u>
12 12
y = 1 1/12
5x - 3(1 1/12) = 11
5x - 3 1/4 = 11
<u> +3 1/4 +3 1/4</u>
<u> 5x</u> = <u>14 1/4</u>
5 5
x = 2 17/20
(x, y) = (2 17/20, 1 1/12)
Y is directly proportional to x and therefore takes the form y=kx where k is the constant of proportionality.
Dividing both sides by x for the given values, k becomes 18/4 = 4.5
