Question
Principal Perry ordered 50 cupcakes from Cocoa Cups Bakery for his monthly honor roll party. Since this was a bulk order, Cocoa Cups reduced the price of each cupcake by 95 in all. How much does Cocoa Cups normally charge for a cupcake?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, we need to find out how much Principal Perry paid for each cupcake. We do this by dividing the total amount he paid by the number of cupcakes. So, 1.90. This means that each cupcake cost $1.90 after the discount.
-
Next, we need to find out the original price of each cupcake before the discount. Since we know that the discount was 1.90 + 2.50.
Therefore, Cocoa Cups normally charges $2.50 for each cupcake.
