Molly went to a bakery. She ordered 1 vanilla cupcake. She says that is 20% of her order. The rest was chocolate.

How may chocolate cupcakes did she order?

4 where chocolate bc if one was 20% that means that it was just 1/5 so 4/5 will be chocolate which indicates that’s 4 are chocolate

Answer: she ordered 4 chocolate cupcakes

explanation: she ordered 4 chocolate cupcakes because the 1 vanilla cupcake is 20% of her order and 100 divided by 5 is 20. So she ordered 5 cupcakes with 4 being chocolate and 1 being vanilla.


Have a nice day! :)
