Q. This equation shows how the number of pies Jonah can bake is related to the number of additional cups of sugar he buys.p=s+11The variable s represents the number of additional cups of sugar Jonah buys, and the variable p represents the total number of pies he can bake. With 2 additional cups of sugar, how many total pies can Jonah bake?_____ pies
Identify Variable: Identify the variable that 2 additional cups of sugar correspond to.s represents the number of additional cups of sugar.So, 2 additional cups gives the value for s.
Substitute Value: We know that s=2.Plug in the value for s in p=s+11.p=s+11Substitute s with 2.p=2+11
Solve for Total:p=2+11. Solve for p. p=2+11=13 Therefore, the total number of pies Jonah can bake with 2 additional cups of sugar is 13.
