HEEEEEEEEEELPPP I NEED ANSWER HELP

A bakery sold 154 mocha cupcakes in a day, which was 35% of the total number of cupcakes sold that day. How many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day?

Respuesta :

440 bevause 154 is 35 percent of 440

The 154 mocha cupcakes represents a proportion of the total cupcakes sold in the bakery. The total number of cupcakes sold in the bakery on that day is 440.

Given that:

[tex]Mocha = 154[/tex]

From the question, we understand that the bakery sells other cupcakes too.

And Mocha only represents 35% of the total.

This means that:

[tex]Mocha = 35\% \times Total[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]154 = 35\% \times Total[/tex]

Make Total the subject

[tex]Total = 154 \div 35\%[/tex]

[tex]Total = 440[/tex]

Hence, 440 cupcakes were sold on that day.
