A student brings whole cherry and cheese danishes to his class for his birthday. The number of cherry danishes he brings is at least 3 more than the number of cheese danishes, but no more than twice the number of cheese danishes. Find the smallest possible value for the total number of danishes he brings.
Accepted Solution
A:
He brings 6 cherry danishes and 3 cheese danishes, because it says that their are three more cherry danishes, but no more than twice the number of cheese. So 6 is 3 more than 3, and also no more than twice the number of cheese. So their would be 6 cherry and 3 cheese danishes.
