Answer 1

Answer:  3 students picked a vanilla cupcake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Number of students that took a cupcake: 12
• Percentage of students that took a vanilla cupcake: 25%

So, to obtain the number of students that picked a vanilla cupcake we simply have to multiply the number of students (12) by the percentage that took the vanilla ones. (25 %, in decimal form 25/100 =0.25)

Mathematically speaking:

12 x 0.25 = 3

3 students picked a vanilla cupcake.
