To find out how many cupcakes YoYo decorates, let's break down the information given step by step.
First, Becky decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 1/3 of the number of cupcakes BoBo decorates. Let's represent the number of cupcakes BoBo decorates as "x".
According to the information, 8 is 2 more than 1/3 of x. So we can write the equation:
8 = (1/3)x + 2
Next, we need to solve this equation to find the value of x, representing the number of cupcakes BoBo decorates.
To do this, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Let's subtract 2 from both sides:
8 - 2 = (1/3)x
6 = (1/3)x
Now, to get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * 6 = 3 * (1/3)x
18 = x
Therefore, the number of cupcakes BoBo decorates is 18.
Now we can answer the original question: how many cupcakes does YoYo decorate?
Since we found out that BoBo decorates 18 cupcakes, we need to find out how many cupcakes YoYo decorates. But this information was not given directly in the question.
Therefore, without additional information, we cannot determine how many cupcakes YoYo decorates. The answer to the question remains unknown.
Let's break down the information given to solve the problem step by step.
1. We know that Becky decorates 8 cupcakes.
2. According to the problem, the number of cupcakes Becky decorates is 2 more than 1/3 of the number of cupcakes BoBo decorates.
3. Let's represent the number of cupcakes BoBo decorates as "x".
4. According to the problem, we can write the equation: 1/3 * x + 2 = 8.
5. To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
6. Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation gives us: 1/3 * x = 6.
7. To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3, giving us: x = 18.
Therefore, BoBo decorates 18 cupcakes.
Since we are looking for the number of cupcakes YoYo decorates, we don't have enough information to determine the exact number. The answer is not provided in the given options.

To find out how many cupcakes JoJo decorates, we need to solve the equation relating Darcy's cupcakes and JoJo's cupcakes.
We are given that Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 1/3 of the number of cupcakes JoJo decorates.
Let's represent the number of cupcakes JoJo decorates as "x".
According to the given information, we can write the equation:
8 = (1/3)x + 2
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, let's subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
8 - 2 = (1/3)x
6 = (1/3)x
To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * 6 = 3 * (1/3)x
18 = x
Therefore, JoJo decorates 18 cupcakes.
