Let's say the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates is x.
According to the information given, Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes, which is 2 more than 13, the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates.
So we can set up the equation: 8 = 13 + 2x.
Subtracting 13 from both sides, we get: -5 = 2x.
Dividing both sides by 2, we find: -5/2 = x.
Therefore, JoJo decorates -5/2 cupcakes, which is not possible, as the number of cupcakes cannot be a fraction or negative.
Thus, there seems to be an error in the given information, and we cannot determine the number of cupcakes that JoJo decorates.
Darcy and JoJo are decorating cupcakes for a party. Darcy decorates 8 cupcakes which is 2 more than 13
