Question

There are 80 cupcakes to be sold at school for a

fundraiser.
1/4 were chocolate
1/5 were vanilla
The rest were strawberry flavored. How many
cupcakes were strawberry flavored?

Answer 1

44

Explanation:

Let S = strawberry count

Chocolate = 1/4 * 80 = 20

Vanilla = 1/5 * 80 = 16

Total = C + V + S

80 = 20 + 16 + S

80 - 20 - 16 = S = 44
