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

Question

c = 3s

The variable s represents the number of additional sticks of butter Justin buys, and the variable c represents the total number of cakes he can bake. With 2 additional sticks of butter, how many total cakes can Justin bake?

cakes

Answer 1

To find out how many total cakes Justin can bake with 2 additional sticks of butter, we can substitute \( s = 2 \) into the equation \( c = 3s \).

So, we compute:

\[ c = 3 \times 2 = 6 \]

Justin can bake a total of 6 cakes with 2 additional sticks of butter.
