Question
Stacy wants to make cake pops and cupcakes for her birthday party. She needs 12 of a cup of vegetable oil for the cake pops and 1.5 times as much oil for the cupcakes. If Stacy has 212 cups of vegetable oil, how much will she have left over after she makes the cake pops and cupcakes?
Solution
First, let's find out how much oil Stacy needs for the cupcakes. Since she needs 1.5 times as much oil for the cupcakes as she does for the cake pops, we multiply the amount of oil needed for the cake pops by 1.5:
12 * 1.5 = 18 cups of oil for the cupcakes.
Next, let's add the amount of oil needed for the cake pops and the cupcakes to find the total amount of oil Stacy needs:
12 + 18 = 30 cups of oil.
Finally, let's subtract the total amount of oil Stacy needs from the amount she has to find out how much she will have left over:
212 - 30 = 182 cups of oil left over.
So, Stacy will have 182 cups of vegetable oil left over after she makes the cake pops and cupcakes.
