Question

Martha's bakery started with 200 cupcakes in the morning. After a busy afternoon there were only 60 cupcakes left. By what percent did the cupcake inventory drop?

Answer 1

Answer: 70%

Explanation:

Martha's bakery started with 200 cupcakes in the morning and after a busy afternoon there were only 60 cupcakes left, this means that 200 - 60 = 140 cupcakes were sold.

The percentage drop will be:

= 140/200 × 100

= 70%
