Answer is -6(see photo for step by step):
Answer:
cost of one cupcake = $2.75
cost of one brownie = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = number of cupcakes
Let b = number of brownies
Equation 1: 5c + 2b = 16.25
Equation 2: 7c + 6b = 26.75
Multiply equation 1 by 3:
⇒ 15c + 6b = 48.75
Now subtract equation 2 from this equation to eliminate 6b:
⇒ 8c = 22
Divide both sides by 8:
⇒ c = 2.75
Substitute c = 2.75 into one of the original equations and solve for b:
⇒ 5(2.75) + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 13.75 + 2b = 16.25
⇒ 2b = 2.5
⇒ b = 1.25
Therefore, cost of one cupcake = $2.75 and cost of one brownie = $1.25
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we have to divide the 18 pounds, in 1/8 portions. We do this with division. To make this problem easier to solve, we need to turn it into a multiplication problem (opposite of division). To still make the problem correct, we have to take the opposite of one of our numbers. Let's take 1/8, and turn it into 8, now we have the problem:
18×8=
Now all we have to do is multiply:
18×8=
144
He can make 144 croissants!
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
The answer is either to change the - 1 to 0, or to add + 1 to it next to the - 1.
