X = large boxes and y = small boxes

x + y = 70.....x = 70 - y
60x + 65y = 4300

60(70 - y) + 65y = 4300
4200 - 60y + 65y = 4300
5y = 4300 - 4200
5y = 100
y = 100/5
y = 20 <=== the small boxes weigh 20 lbs

x + y = 70
x + 20 = 70
x = 70 - 20
x = 50 <== and the large boxes weigh 50 lbs

A bakery sells vanilla cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes. It sold 276 vanilla cupcakes in a day. 8% of the cupcakes sold that day
kkurt [141]

Answer:

hello!!!

300 cupcakes

please read the explanation.. it always helps... trust me...

Step-by-step explanation:

alrighty here it goes...

okay.. so we start by reading the problem (duh) but also underlining the important numbers that we need. yes, it really is that simple, trust me....

okay so the percentage of chocoalte cupcakes was 8% and the amount of vanilla cupcakes was 276.

we start by taking 100% - 8% = 92% so the amount of vanilla cupcakes sold was 276 which is also 92% of the total amount of cupcakes.

so now we need to find out 92% of what number gets us 276.

the percentage formula (in this problem) should be as follows:

92/100 x (total amount of cupcakes) = 276

to solve for total amount of cupcakes you do 276 x 100 then you divide by 92 to get your answer (which is 300)

i hope this helps!!!
