Question

Tina baked a batch of 40 cupcakes. daisy baked 4/5 as many cupcakes as tina. miko baked 1/2 as many cupcakes as daisy. how many cupcakes did the 3 girls bake altogether?

Answer 1

The three girls baked 88 cupcakes altogether.

Cupcakes Baked by Each

Number of cupcakes baked by Tina, T = 40

It is given that Daisy baked 4/5 as many cupcakes as Tina.

Therefore, number of cupcakes baked by Daisy, D = (4T/5) (Applying fractions)

⇒ D = (4/5)×40

⇒ D = 4 × 8

⇒ D = 32

Also, it is given that Miko baked 1/2 as many cupcakes as Daisy.

Thus, number of cupcakes baked by Miko, M = D/2 (Applying fractions)

⇒  M = 32/2

⇒ M = 16

Calculating Total Number of Cupcakes Baked

Cupcakes baked by the three girls altogether = T + D + M

= 40 + 32 + 16

= 88

Hence, the girls together baked 88 cupcakes.
