Dora bought a total of 48 cupcakes. Each cupcake cost $0.55, including tax. Of the cupcakes she bought, 3/8
were vanilla cupcakes. What was the total cost of only the vanilla cupcakes?
f $16.50 g $6.60 h $9.90 j $26.40
First, we need to find out how many of the cupcakes were vanilla.
3/8 of 48 = 18
So Dora bought 18 vanilla cupcakes.
To find the total cost of only the vanilla cupcakes, we can multiply the number of cupcakes by the cost per cupcake:
18 x $0.55 = $9.90
Therefore, the total cost of only the vanilla cupcakes was $9.90.
The answer is h) $9.90.
