Let x be the price of a cupcake.
There are 24 cupcakes so it will be 24x.
Solution:
24x+16=52
24x=52-16
24x=36
Divide both sides by 24
X=1.5.
The price of each cupcake is 1.5$
Answer:
8 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 6.5 by 0.75 and you get 
, or 8 and 2/3
Okay, think of it this way:
You have to find how many times 4,000 goes into 150,000.
This will tell you how many costumes you can buy.
To make this easier, we can divide 4 by 150. (this is proportional to 4,000 and 150,000 since we took 3 zeros from each number; you will get the same answer)
150/4= 37.5
You can buy 37 whole costumes.
Hope this helped!
