The correct answer is 6.
Let's say the number of cupcakes JoJo decorates is J.
According to the problem, Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 13-J cupcakes. Therefore:
8 = 13-J + 2
Simplifying the equation, we have:
8 = 15-J
Solving for J:
J = 15 - 8
J = 7
So, JoJo decorates 7 cupcakes.
Darcy and JoJo are decorating cupcakes for a party. Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes which is 2 more than 13
