Aunt Trudy is pricing cakes for a baby shower she is throwing. She wants one large cake shaped like a duckling and also some cupcakes in pastel colors. Newberg Bakery charges $1 for each cupcake, plus $47 for the large cake. Eliana's Sweet Shoppe charges $34 for the large cake and $2 for each cupcake. If Aunt Trudy orders a certain number of cupcakes, the cost will be the same at either bakery. What would the total cost be? How many cupcakes would that include?

There are two unknowns: number of cupcakes in both bakeries. It's one equation with two unknowns. There has to be another equation.02/11/21
