Eloise is baking cupcakes and cookies for a birthday party. She baked 2.5 times as many cookies as cupcakes for a total of 56 items. How many of each item did she bake?

16 cupcakes and 40 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

I  wrote an equation to solve for this

2.5x + x = 56

x represents cupcakes

3.5x = 56

x = 16

16 represents cupcakes.

16*2.5 = 40 (cookies)

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
