Answer 7

I got a different number. You have 3 pieces of candy in each cupcake. You have 6 cupcakes in one package and you need 42 packages so that is 256 cupcakes in total. \[256\times3\]=768 pieces of candy

Answer 8

each pakage cantains 6 cupcakes. 3 candies go in each cupcake. there are 42 packges sailing out. 6x42= 256 divided by 3 = 84 !

Answer 9
