Question

Ariel made cupcakes to sell. 2/3 of them were chocolate chip,25% of the reminder was strawberry and the rest were 90 vanilla cupcakes. a) How many cupcakes were chocolate chip ? b) How many cupcakes were strawberry?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the total number of cupcakes.

Chocolate chips =

$\frac{2}{3} x$

Strawberry =

$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} \\ = \frac{1}{12} x$

Vanilla =

$x - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{1}{12}x \\ = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{1}{12} x \\ = \frac{1}{4} x$

given

$\frac{1}{4} x = 90$

$x = 90 \div \frac{1}{4} \\ = 90 \times 4 \\ = 360$

a)Number of Chocolate chip Cupcakes =

$\frac{2}{3} \times 360 \\ = 240$

b)Number of Strawberry cupcakes =

$\frac{1}{12} \times 360 \\ = 30$
