Question

CupCaking, a cupcake bakery, uses the equation below to determine the price of cupcakes, where y represents the total price in dollars and x represents the number of cupcakes purchased. Cake Me, another cupcake bakery, uses the table below to determine prices.
Number of Cupcakes (x) Price (y)
2 $3.50
3 $5.25
4 $7.00
6 $10.50

Katie bought one cupcake from CupCaking and Sarah bought one cupcake from Cake Me. Which of the following are true?

Answer 1

A. Sarah is paying the smaller price of $1.25 per cupcake.
B. Katie is paying the smaller price of $1.50 per cupcake.
C. Katie is paying $0.25 per cupcake more than Sarah.
D. They are paying the same price per cupcake.
E. Sarah is paying $0.25 per cupcake more than Katie.

Answer 2

Is This Algebra 1?

Answer 3

The equation for CupCaking is y = (3/2)*x

Answer 4

For 1 cupcake, Katie paid y = (3/2)*1 = $1.50

Looking at the Cake Me table of values, observe that when the number of cupcakes increases by 1, the cost increases by $1.75. You may want to verify that.

For 1 cupcake, Sarah paid $1.75.


With that information, select the two correct options.
