Question

A bakery sells mocha cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes. One day it sold 28 mocha and 52 chocolate . What percent of the cupcakes sold that they were mocha?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of mocha cupcakes sold, divide the number of mocha cupcakes sold by the total number of cupcakes sold and multiply by 100. 35% of the cupcakes sold were mocha cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of mocha cupcakes sold, we divide the number of mocha cupcakes sold (28) by the total number of cupcakes sold (28 + 52 = 80) and multiply by 100.

Percentage of mocha cupcakes sold = (28 / 80) × 100% = 35%

Therefore, 35% of the cupcakes sold were mocha cupcakes.

Answer 2

1) Gathering the data
