From the first diagram shown, we can see that 1 cupcake costs $1.5
To get the price of 5 cupcakes
Since 1cupcake = $1.5
5 cupcakes = $x
cross multiply
1 * x = 5 * 1.5
x = $7.5
Hence 5 cupcakes will cost $7.5
Since 1cupcake = $1.5
18 cupcakes = $x
cross multiply
1 * x = 18 * 1.5
x = $27
Hence 5 cupcakes will cost $27
To get the number of cupcakes priced $18
Since 1cupcake = $1.5
x cupcake = $18
1.5x = 18
divide both sides by 1.5
1.5x/1.5 = 18/1.5
x =
