Answer 2

Given:

The ratio of cupcakes to cookies was 7:3 on Monday.

The bakery made a total of 90 baked goods (cupcakes and cookies) that day.

To find:

The number of cupcakes.

Solution:

We have, the ratio of cupcakes to cookies was 7:3 on Monday.

Let the number of cupcakes and cookies are 7x and 3x respectively.

Total baked goods = 90

`7x+3x=90`

`10x=90`

`x=(90)/(10)`

`x=9`

Now, the number of cupcakes is

`7x=7(9)`

`7x=63`

Therefore, the number of cupcakes is 63.
