Mr kacanich was baking a chocolate cake. The recipe called for 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, but after he started mixing ingredients, he relized he didn't have enough. If mr kacanich borrowed 1/4 cup from the neighbor, how much of his own cocoa powder did he have?

2/4 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Unsweetened cocoa powder needed = 3/4 cup

Unsweetened cocoa powder borrowed = 1/4 cup

how much of his own cocoa powder did he have?

Let

x = Unsweetened cocoa powder Mr kacanich has

Unsweetened cocoa powder needed = Unsweetened cocoa powder Mr kacanich has + Unsweetened cocoa powder borrowed

3/4 = x + 1/4

Subtract 1/4 from both sides

3/4 - 1/4 = x + 1/4 - 1/4

3/4 - 1/4 = x

x = (3-1)/4

x = 2/4 cup
