Question

This equation shows how the number of cakes Jada can bake is related to the number of additional sticks of butter she buys.

c = s + 39

The variable s represents the number of additional sticks of butter Jada buys, and the variable c represents the total number of cakes she can bake. With 44 additional sticks of butter, how many total cakes can Jada bake?

cakes

Answer 1

To find out how many total cakes Jada can bake with 44 additional sticks of butter, we can substitute \( s = 44 \) into the equation:

\[
c = s + 39
\]

Substituting \( s \):

\[
c = 44 + 39
\]

Now, perform the addition:

\[
c = 83
\]

Therefore, with 44 additional sticks of butter, Jada can bake a total of **83 cakes**.
