Question

I need help with a question but I answered it already I just want to be sure with my answer

Answer 1

Each cupcake costs $4 per student.

The following equation represents the relationship between the total cost and the number of students.

`y=4x`

Here y is the total cost and x represents the number of students.

To find the total cost of cupcakes for 36 students, substitute x = 36 into the above equation

`\begin{gathered} y=4x \\ y=4(36) \\ y=144 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the total cost of cupcakes for 36 students will be $144

Option D is the correct answer.
