Question

a bakery sold 26 vanilla cupcakes in a day which was 13 percent of the total number of cupcakes sold that day. How many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day

Answer 1

200 cupcakes

Explanation:

Let "x" be the total number of cupcakes sold at the bakery.

We know that 26 cupcakes represents 13% of the total number of cupcakes sold, so:

26 cupcakes = 13/100 * x

Solving for x, we get:

x = 26 / (13/100)

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

x = 2600 / 13

Dividing 2600 by 13 gives us 200, so:

x = 200

Therefore, the bakery sold a total of 200 cupcakes on that day.
