Final answer:

The bakery sold 123 vanilla flavored cupcakes, which was calculated by finding 41% of 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of vanilla-flavored cupcakes sold, you can multiply the total number of cupcakes by the percentage that were vanilla-flavored.

Total number of cupcakes = 300

Percentage of vanilla-flavored cupcakes = 41%

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

41%=0.41

41%=0.41

Now, multiply the total number of cupcakes by the decimal equivalent of the percentage to find the number of vanilla-flavored cupcakes:

Number of vanilla cupcakes=300×0.41=123

Number of vanilla cupcakes=300×0.41=123

Therefore, 123 cupcakes sold that day were vanilla flavored.
