CupCaking, a cupcake bakery, uses the equation below to determine the price of cupcakes, where y represents the total price in d
ollars and x represents the number of cupcakes purchased. Y=3/2x
Cake Me, another cupcake bakery, uses the table below to determine prices.
(x) (y)
2 3.50
3 5.25
4 7.00
6 10.50
Katie bought one cupcake from CupCaking and Sarah bought one cupcake from Cake Me.
Which of the following are true?
A) Katie is paying the smaller price of $1.50 per cupcake.
B)Sarah is paying the smaller price of $1.25 per cupcake.
C) Katie is paying $0.25 per cupcake more than Sarah.
D)Sarah is paying $0.25 per cupcake more than Katie.
E)They are paying the same price per cupcake.
A is true and D is true because 3 divided by 2 is 1.5 and x is 1 ( the number of cupcakes she is buying) so the total she is paying for is 1.50 while if you notice the pattern in cake me they are charging 1.75 per cupcake. (7.00 - 1.75 = 5.25)
