Question

2 balloons and 3 cakes cost $26.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of one balloon is 4 dollars

the cost of one cake is 6 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I did it was by substituting different numbers and seeing if they equaled forty or 26.

my thought process:

1 balloon= 5

1 cake= 10

that doesnt work for 2 balloons and 3 cakes

1 balloon=5

1 cake=5

that works for 4 balloons and 4 cakes but not 2 balloons and 3 cakes

1 balloon=4

1 cake=7

I'm sorry I'm way too tired to finish this 0-0 anyways yeah that's the correct answer :)
