Number of cupcakes with a baker = 24

Number of chocolate cupcakes with the baker:


=\tt (1)/(4) \: \: of \: \: 24


=\tt (1)/(4) * 24


= \tt (24)/(4)


\color{plum}=\tt 6 \: cupcakes

Thus, the number of chocolate cupcakes the baker has = 6

Number of strawberry cupcakes with the baker :


= \tt (4)/(4) - (1)/(4) \: \: of \: \: 24


=\tt (3)/(4) \: \: of \: \: 24


=\tt (3)/(4) * 24


= \tt (72)/(4)


\color{plum}=\tt 18 \: cupcakes

Thus, the number of strawberry cupcakes = 18

Therefore, the number of strawberry cupcakes with the baker = 18
