Q. Clara's favorite baking show inspired her to take a cake-decorating class. To practice her new skill, she decorated a batch of cupcakes with icing flowers. Clara put 33 icing flowers on each cupcake for a total of 3636 icing flowers.\newlineLet cc represent how many cupcakes were in the batch. Which equation models the problem?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 3c=363c = 36\newline(B) c3=36\frac{c}{3} = 36\newlineSolve this equation to find how many cupcakes were in the batch.\newline___\_\_\_ cupcakes\newline
  1. Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation that models the problem. Clara put 33 icing flowers on each cupcake, and the total number of flowers used was 3636. The equation that relates the number of cupcakes (cc) to the total number of flowers is 3c=363c = 36, where cc is the number of cupcakes.
  2. Solve Equation: Solve the equation 3c=363c = 36 to find the number of cupcakes. Divide both sides of the equation by 33 to isolate cc.\newlinec=363c = \frac{36}{3}\newlinec=12c = 12
