Question

Kiara bought cupcakes for her sister's birthday party. 25% of the 72 cupcakes had sprinkles

Answer 1

First we must find the percentage of our number

Because our number is 72 we have to find 25% of it

Simple way

25% of 72 is another way of saying 25% times 72

25% x 72

= 18

Answer

Therefore 18 of Kiara's cupcakes had sprinkles.

P.S: if you want you can multiply in fraction form and still get the same answer
