Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

equation 1 and 2 can be derived from the question

cake = apple dumplings  - 1/10  eqn 1

apple dumplings = 3/10 + crisp eqn 2

if 5/10 sugar was used to make cake , substitute for it in eqn 1

5/10 = apple dumplings  - 1/10

apple dumplings = 5/10 + 1/10 = 6/10

Substitute for the amount of sugar used to make apple dumplings in eqn 2

6/10 = 3/10 + crisp

crisp = 6/10 - 3/10 = 3/10

cake - 1/10 = apple d

apple d = 6/10
