Question

principal jordan ordered 65 cupcakes from sweet sues bakery for his monthly honor roll party. since this was a bulk order, sweet sues reduced the price of each cupcake by $0.50. principal jordan paid $195 in all. which equation can you use to find c, how much sweet sues normally charges for a cupcake? 65(c - 0.50) = 195 65c - 0.50 = 195 0.50(c - 65) = 195 0.50c - 65 = 195

Explanation:

Step1: Define discounted price per cupcake

The normal price is $c$, so discounted price is $c - 0.50$.

Step2: Set up total cost equation

Total cost = number of cupcakes × discounted price: $65(c - 0.50) = 195$.

Step3: Match to given options

The derived equation matches the first option.

Answer:

65(c - 0.50) = 195
