Question

Bryan bought cupcakes for his sister's birthday party. 15 cupcakes had sprinkles on top. The other 35 cupcakes did not have sprinkles. What percentage of the cupcakes had sprinkles?

Answer 1

Answer: 30%

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cupcakes have sprinkles = 15

Cupcakes didn't have sprinkles = 35

Total cupcakes = 15+35 = 50

The percentage of the cupcakes had sprinkles = $\dfrac{\text{Cupcakes have sprinkles}}{\text{Total cupcakes}}\times100$

$=\dfrac{15}{50}\times100\\\\= 30\%$

Hence, the percentage of the cupcakes had sprinkles = 30%
