Question

joe made 20 cupcakes for the upcoming bake sale. he made 1/5 of the cupcakes vanilla and 3/4 of them chocolate. how many cupcakes are not vanilla or chocolate?

Answer 1

I think its one because 1/5 of 20 is four and 3/4 of 20 is 15. when you add them its 19. then subtract 19 from 20 to get 1.

Answer 2

Total cupcakes = 20

Vanilla cupcakes = 1/5 x 20 = 4

Chocolate cupcakes = 3/4 x 20 = 15

Cupcakes that are not vanilla or chocolate = 20 - 4 - 15 = 1

Answer: 1 cup cake is not vanilla or chocolate.
