Answer:

16 mugs

Step-by-step explanation:

Total clay bought = 45 lbs

Clay used for sculpture = 15.8 lbs

Clay left over = 17.68 lbs

Clay used for each mug = 0.72 lbs

Number of mug = x

Total clay bought = Clay used for sculpture + Clay left over + (Clay used for each mug * Number of mug)

45 = 15.8 + 17.68 + (0.72 * x)

45 = 33.48 + 0.72x

45 - 33.48 = 0.72x

11.52 = 0.72x

x = 11.52/0.72

x = 16

Number of mug = x = 16 mugs
