You can use logic on this. What is the least amount of lemonade she wants to sell and which answers are then crossed out.

anonymous · Answer

i think

anonymous · Answer

How did you get to that? XD I hate word problems........ lol. I hate math in general, but word problems are the worst.

haleholmes · Answer

The last 2 are canceled out obviously.

anonymous · Answer

you would how ever many lemonade it says times to and then add it to however many cupcakes they sold because those are only one dollar you wouldn't multiply those

anonymous · Answer

Hm. I suppose.. lol. I'm so bad at math... .-. it's horrible... Thanks :P I need to get a tutor. I soooo don't understand this stuff >.< *sigh*

And the second one.

haleholmes · Answer

To get the answer just multiply each option and make sure that the amount of sold matches the word problem, (at least five each) and the money = more than $25

anonymous · Answer

And the second one? :P I thought we decided C was the answer XD

anonymous · Answer

ohh, ok makes sense. :3 Thanks XD

haleholmes · Answer

No, she wants to sell at least five each, C says that she only sells 2 cupcakes, not 5. its A

Crap. I actually think thats wrong. Sorry

haleholmes · Answer

J57 was correct. The word problem is messed up too.

anonymous · Answer

ya because she wants to make at least $25 and only c has both answers add up to that. and in c they are both more than five of each.

haleholmes · Answer

Depending on how much money she wants it would be c, if it was to sell more than 5 each it would be A.

haleholmes · Answer

In c the amount of lemonade is only 3
