Carrie and juanita are saving up to start a slime business. they need at least $125 to cover their start up costs. to earn that money, carrie decides to do sell cupcakes. she sells cupcakes for $0.50 each. juanita decides that she would like to sell homemade cards. she will be selling the cards for $2.25 each. juanita plans to make at least 35 cards. to make up the difference, carrie plans to sell no less than 3 times the number of cards juanita makes

So they need $125 to start a slime business.
To get money Carrie start to sell cupcakes for 0.50 cents

Juanita will be selling cards for $2.25

Juanita is selling cards for $2.25 and she is selling at least 35 of them

Carrie is selling cupcakes for 0.50 cents and the number of cupvakes is three times the number of cards so we will multiply 35 x 3=105 number of cupcakes

Then we will multiply 0.50 cents x 105= $53.2 on the cupcakes.

After that, we will multiply $2.25 x 35 for the cards = 78.5

Finally add them together
78.5
+53.3

$ 131.8

So they will have $131.8 after selling cupcakes and cards.
