Question

Nora baked 40 cupcakes. She ate 4 cupcakes and gave 25% of the remaining

cupcakes to her neighbours. How many cupcakes did Nora have left?​I want this answer it percentage

Answer 1

27 cupcakes left

In percentage of the number of cupcakes left after she ate 4 = 75%

In percentage of the total number of cupcakes she baked = 67.5%

Explanation:

Given that Nora baked 40 cupcakes and ate 4 cupcakes then, the remainder

= 40 - 4

= 36 cupcakes

If she gave 25% of the remaining, the number of cupcakes given

= 25% * 36

= 25/100 * 36

= 9 cupcakes

the number of cupcakes left

= 36 - 9

= 27 cupcakes

In percentage of the number of cupcakes left after she ate 4, this will be

= 100% - 25%

= 75%

In percentage of the total number of cupcakes she baked

= 27/40 * 100%

= 67.5%
