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.
