For tonight, I want you to tackle the cupcake problem from class. Draw pictures, use formulas, think intuitively. There are a few ways you could get to the answer, so as long as you show your work you'll be okay!
HINT: We are focusing on multi-step equations currently, so if you get stuck, think about how to set up an equation.
Thanks,
Mr. Radich
Kelsey made cupcakes to sell as
a fundraiser for her trip to Washington DC. She purchased one cupcake pan for
$12. She calculated that the ingredients cost her $0.25 per cupcake. She plans
to sell the cupcakes for $0.75 each.
a. Write an equation that could
be used to find the number of cupcakes (x) she will need to sell to break even.
b. Solve the equation from part a. Explain how
you know your answer is correct. c. If she sold 184 cupcakes, what was her
profit?
