Question

Javier made 180 cupcakes. Each cupcake is covered with frosting. • 1/3 of the cupcakes have vanilla frosting. • 1/10 of the cupcakes have lemon frosting. • 2/5 of the cupcakes have chocolate frosting. • the rest have strawberry frosting. How many cupcakes have strawberry frosting

Answer 1

30 strawberry cupcakes

Explanation:

180 cupcakes in total

1/3 of 180 - 60 = vanilla

1/10 of 180- 18 = lemon

2/5 of 180 - 72 = chocolate

rest of 180 - 180-(72+18+60) = strawberry

rest of 180 - 180-150 = 30 = strawberry

Add all of them:

60 vanilla

18 lemon

72 chocolate

30 strawberry

180 cupcakes
