Problema Solution
Mark wants to make $300 by selling cupcakes at bake sale, his mother offered to pay for the ingredients. He plans to sell them for $5 per dozen. A box mix makes about 50 cupcakes. Approximately how many boxes should mark buy?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of boxes that Mark needs to buy
from 1 box he can make 50 cupcakes and earn (50/10) * 5 = $25
since he wants to earn $300 we can write
25*x = 300
x = 300/25
x = 12 boxes
Mark should buy 12 box mixes.
