Question

PJ is decorating pupcakes for Rocky’s birthday party. Her color scheme is black,purple,and green.She will use this spinner to determine the color of sprinkles on each pup cake. If Pj decorated 60 cupcakes about how many can she expect to be purple?

Answer 1

PJ has 3 colors to choose from. This means she has a 1/3 chance of getting purple on the spinner, if the sections are equal. So, in order to find out the total amount of cupcakes that are purple, we multiply 60 by 1/3. The answer turns out to be 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

15 purple cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since purple is 25% and PJ decorated 60 cupcakes,

25% of 60 = 15.

Hope this helps :)
