Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify given information and create 2 equations.

c = # of customers g = given items

1/5c = g (Equation for doughnuts)

1/12c = g (Equation for cupcakes)

Step 2: Substitute in for given items

1/5c = 8

1/5c = 3

Step 3: Use PEMDAS to find c in each equation.

1/5c = 8

*5 *5

c = 40

1/12c = 3

*12 *12

c = 36

Step 4: add customers from both equations

40 + 36 = 76

The bakery had 76 customers that day.
