Question

$

Answer 1

Let's calculate the price per cupcake for each bakery.

1. Baked Fresh:

   • A pack of 6 cupcakes costs $18.
   • Price per cupcake = Total cost / Number of cupcakes \[ \text{Price per cupcake at Baked Fresh} = \frac{18}{6} = 3 \text{ dollars per cupcake} \]

2. Milk 'n' Creme Bakery:

   • A pack of 12 cupcakes costs $37.20.
   • Price per cupcake = Total cost / Number of cupcakes \[ \text{Price per cupcake at Milk 'n' Creme Bakery} = \frac{37.20}{12} = 3.10 \text{ dollars per cupcake} \]

Now, we determine the difference in price per cupcake between Milk 'n' Creme Bakery and Baked Fresh. \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Price per cupcake at Milk 'n' Creme} - \text{Price per cupcake at Baked Fresh} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 3.10 - 3 = 0.10 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, Milk 'n' Creme Bakery charges $0.10 more per cupcake than Baked Fresh.
