Morgan_78 - 29.01.2016 01:18let us assume the number of cupcakes sold by Kyle = x Then The number of cupcakes sold by Nicole = 4x Total number of cupcakes sold by Nicole and Kyle = 35 Then x + 4x = 35 5x = 35 x = 35/5 = 7 So The number of cupcakes sold by Kyle = 7 Then The number of cupcakes sold by Nicole = 4x = 4 * 7 = 28 So the number of cupcakes sold by Nicole is 28 and the number of cupcakes sold by Kyle is 7.
