Answer 1

To find out how many more cupcakes you need to make, you can subtract the cupcakes you have already made from the total number of cupcakes needed.

Let x be the number of cupcakes you still need to make. The equation for this is:

18 cupcakes - 11 cupcakes = x cupcakes

Simplifying the equation:

7 cupcakes = x cupcakes

Therefore, you still need to make 7 more cupcakes for the birthday party.
