Answer 1

Answer:

a. 8

Step-by-step explanation: Out of  12   baked goods sold , let the number of cakes sold, be  x  in number and pies sold were  12 − x  in number. Total sell was  $ 144  ,  1  cake costs  $ 14  and  1  pie costs, $ 8 ∴ 14 ⋅ x + ( 12 − x ) ⋅ 8 = 144 or 14 x − 8 x = 144 − 96  or 6 x = 48 ∴ x = 8
