$12•6=$72

$165-$72=$93

$93/$3= 31 cupcakes

Multiply $12 by the 6 cakes sold getting $72

Subtract $72 from the total $165 dollars made getting $93 left

Divide $93 by the $3 each cupcake cost getting 31 cupcakes

ANSWER: 31 cupcakes sold
Sarith

Cakes = x

Cupcakes = y

On Saturday, 6x + y = $165

We are told x = 12, so 6(12) + 3y = 165

72 + 3y = 165

Subtract the entire equation by 72:

3y = 93

Divide by 3 to simplify:

y = 31 cupcakes sold
