Question

Lucy and JoJo need to make 140 cupcakes for the school dance,

.
Lucy made 3/5of the cupcakes
• How many cupcakes does JoJo need to make?

Answer 1

56 cupcakes cause Jotaro and the jojo gang are pretty hungry

Answer 2

56 cupcakes

Explanation:

First, I convert 3/5 to a percent because I prefer to work with percents:

3/5 = 0.6 = 60%

Then, subtract 60% from 100% for the percent of the total cupcakes that JoJo needs to make:

100 - 60 = 40%

Finally, multiply the total cupcakes by the percent as a decimal:

140 × 0.4 = 56
