At the bakery, Lew spent a total of $6 for one kind of cupcake and one kind of doughnut. How many doughnuts did he buy?

1) The price of 2 donuts was $.10 less than the price of 3 cupcakes
2) The average (arithmetic mean) price of 1 doughnut and 1 cupcake was $.35.

Strugglign on this one with the answer and why. Please help. Thank you

[spoiler]Correct answer: E - statements 1 and 2 together are not sufficient[/spoiler]

Combine we can figure out donut costs .40 and cupcake = .30.

However, we don't know if he bought 4 cupcakes / 12 donuts or 12 cupcakes / 6 donuts, thus the answer is E.
