Question

Ms. Smith will bring cupcakes for her students. Each cupcake will cost her 4.00 per student. This is represented by the following equation: y=4x. What is the total cost of the cupcakes if Ms.Smith has 36 students

Answer 1

Cost of each cupcake is 4 per student.

Let x be the number of students, then the total amount is,

$y=4x$

THerefore, when there are 36 students, the total cost is,

$y=4\times36=144$

Thus, the total cost is 144.0
