(7) and (6) are incorrect answers because they are not an answer choice
To find out how many cupcakes JoJo decorates, we need to first find out how many cupcakes Darcy decorates. We know that Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 13 cupcakes.
To find out how many cupcakes JoJo decorates, we need to subtract 2 from the total number of cupcakes Darcy decorates.
Darcy's total number of cupcakes = 8
JoJo's total number of cupcakes = Darcy's total number of cupcakes - 2
Hence, JoJo decorates 8 - 2 = 6 cupcakes.
To find the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates, we need to solve the equation:
8 = 13 - 2 + JoJo's cupcakes
Simplifying the equation, JoJo's cupcakes can be determined as:
8 = 11 + JoJo's cupcakes
Subtracting 11 from both sides of the equation:
8 - 11 = JoJo's cupcakes
JoJo's cupcakes = -3
However, since negative quantities don't make sense in this context, the answer is not viable.
Thus, based on the given information, there is not enough information to determine how many cupcakes JoJo decorates.

To find out how many cupcakes JoJo decorates, we need to solve the equation:
8 = (1/3) * JoJo's cupcakes + 2
Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
6 = (1/3) * JoJo's cupcakes
To isolate JoJo's cupcakes, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
18 = JoJo's cupcakes
Therefore, JoJo decorates 18 cupcakes.
The correct answer is a. 18.
