Question

The total number of cupcakes soldduring 5 days was 2087. The number of cupcakes sold by the shop on Thursday was 3 times the cupcakes sold on Monday. How many cupcakes were sold on Thursday?

Answer 1

1252

Explanation:

We're assuming that the same amount of cupcakes were sold each day.

2087/5 = 417.4

417.4 x 3 = 1252.2

Since we can't sell fractions of a cupcake, 1252 were sold on Thursday.
