To find out how many cupcakes Jojo decorates, we need to subtract 2 from the number of cupcakes Darcy decorates.
Therefore, Jojo decorates 13 - 2 = <<13-2=11>>11 cupcakes.
To find out how many cupcakes Jojo decorates, we need to use the given information that Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 13 times the number of cupcakes that Jojo decorates.
Let's assume the number of cupcakes Jojo decorates is 'x'.
According to the information given, we can set up the following equation:
8 = 13x + 2
To solve for x, we need to isolate it. Let's begin by subtracting 2 from both sides:
8 - 2 = 13x + 2 - 2
6 = 13x
Now, divide both sides by 13:
6 / 13 = 13x / 13
x = 6/13
So, Jojo decorates approximately 6/13 of a cupcake.
The closest whole number to 6/13 is 0. Round it to the nearest whole number, and we find that Jojo decorates 0 cupcakes.
Therefore, the answer is 0 cupcakes.
To find out how many cupcakes Jojo decorates, we can use the information given in the question.
We are told that Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 13 times the number of cupcakes Jojo decorates.
Let's assume the number of cupcakes Jojo decorates is represented by the variable "x".
According to the information given, we can set up the equation:
8 = 13x + 2
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Subtracting 2 from both sides, the equation becomes:
8 - 2 = 13x
6 = 13x
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 13 to solve for x:
x = 6/13
Rounding to the nearest whole number, Jojo decorates approximately 0.46 cupcakes.
Therefore, the answer is 0 and we can conclude that Jojo decorates 0 cupcakes.
