To find the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates, we need to solve the equation 8 = (1/3)x + 2 where x represents the number of cupcakes JoJo decorates.
Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, we have 8 - 2 = (1/3)x.
Simplifying the left side of the equation, we get 6 = (1/3)x.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction, we have 3 * 6 = 3 * (1/3)x.
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get 18 = x.
Therefore, JoJo decorates 18 cupcakes.
Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes which is 2 more than 1/3 the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates.
