Robert is trying to determine the additional cost for making each special order . For each special order cupcake , write an equation that can be used to determine the cost , y, of the extra ingredient for making dozen of that cupcake .

Answer 1

y = 12x

Explanation:

Given that:

y = cost of making a special order cupcake

A dozen of special order cupcakes = 12 pieces

Let the cost of extra ingredient for making a special order cupcake = x

Hence the cost y of making a dozen of such special order will be :

y = extra cost per order * number of orders

y = 12x
