Question

Brad and Sally made a total of 31 cakes for the school bake sale. Sally made 7 fewer cakes than Brad. Enter the number of cakes Brad made

Answer 1

Brad made 24 cakes and if you add 24 and 7 u get 31

Answer 2

The number of cakes that Brad made = 19 cakes

We are given;

Total number of cakes made by Brad and Sally = 31

• We are told that Sally made 7 fewer cakes than Brad.

Let the number of cakes made by Brad be x.

Thus;

Number of cakes made by Sally = x - 7

• Thus;

x + x - 7 = 31

2x - 7 = 31

2x = 31 + 7

2x = 38

x = 38/2

x = 19

Thus,

Number of cakes made by Brad = 19
