To find the total number of cupcakes sold that day, we need to first determine what 100% represents in terms of cupcakes.
Let x be the total number of cupcakes sold that day.
13% of x is equal to 26 cupcakes.
0.13x = 26
Dividing both sides by 0.13:
x = 26 / 0.13
x = 200
Therefore, the bakery sold a total of 200 cupcakes that day.
A bakery sold 26 vanilla cupcakes in a day, which was 13% of the total number of cupcakes sold that day. How many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day?
