Question

Mary wants 156 cupcakes for her party. Mary has already made 48 fudge cupcakes, and 36berry cupcakes. How many more cupcakes does Mary need to make?

Answer 1

Total number of cupcakes needed = 156

Number of cupcakes available = 48 fudge cupcakes + 36 berry cupcakes

= 84 cupcakes

Hence,

The number of cupcakes remaining = 156 - 84

= 72

Therefore,

Mary will need to make 72 more cupcakes
