Question

Shelley bought cupcakes for her sister's birthday party. 25% of the 64 cupcakes had sprinkles on top. How many cupcakes had sprinkles?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

You need to find 25% of 64.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

25% of 64 = 25% × 64

To multiply a percent by a number, change the percent to a decimal by dividing the percent by 100. Move the decimal point two places to the left.

25% × 64 = 0.25 × 64 = 16
