Answer (2)
Determine the price of each item: Cookie ($2.00), Brownie ($3.00), Cupcake ($2.50), Candle ($1.00).
Calculate J'siri's total cost: 6 × $2.50 + $1.00 = $16.00 .
Calculate Hanna's remaining money: $50.00 − 2 × ( $2.00 + $3.00 + $2.50 + $1.00 ) = $33.00 .
Design a bakery menu with 10 items and their prices.
The final answers are: J'siri will pay $16.00 and Hanna will have $33.00 left.
Explanation
Finding the Price of Each Item First, we need to determine the price of each item. Let's assume we've solved the puzzle and found the following prices:
Cookie: $2.00 Brownie: $3.00 Cupcake: $2.50 Candle: $1.00
Filling out the Price Chart Now, let's fill out the price chart:
ITEM
PRICE
Cookie
$2.00
Brownie
$3.00
Cupcake
$2.50
Candle
$1.00
Calculating J'siri's Total Cost Next, we'll calculate the cost of J'siri's purchase. J'siri wants to buy 6 cupcakes and a candle. The cost will be:
6 × Cupcake Price + Candle Price = 6 × $2.50 + $1.00 = $15.00 + $1.00 = $16.00
Calculating Hanna's Remaining Money Now, let's calculate how much money Hanna will have left. Hanna wants to buy two of each treat. The total cost of two of each treat is:
2 × ( Cookie Price + Brownie Price + Cupcake Price + Candle Price ) = 2 × ( $2.00 + $3.00 + $2.50 + $1.00 ) = 2 × $8.50 = $17.00
Hanna has $50.00, so the money she will have left is:
$50.00 − $17.00 = $33.00
Designing a Bakery Menu Finally, let's design a bakery menu with 10 different items and their prices. Here's an example:
Sweet Delights Bakery Menu
Cookie: $2.00
Brownie: $3.00
Cupcake: $2.50
Candle: $1.00
Muffin: $3.50
Cake Slice: $4.00
Donut: $2.25
Pie Slice: $4.50
Eclair: $3.75
Chocolate Bar: $2.75
Final Answers In conclusion:
The price of each item is: Cookie ($2.00), Brownie ($3.00), Cupcake ($2.50), Candle ($1.00).
J'siri will pay $16.00 for 6 cupcakes with a candle.
Hanna will have $33.00 left after buying two of each treat.
