Eloise is baking cupcakes and cookies for a birthday party. She baked 2.5 times as many cookies as cupcakes for a total of 56 items. How many of each item did she bake?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 cupcakes and 40 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

I  wrote an equation to solve for this

2.5x + x = 56

x represents cupcakes

3.5x = 56

x = 16

16 represents cupcakes.

16*2.5 = 40 (cookies)
