To find the total number of cupcakes sold, we first need to determine what percentage of the total number of cupcakes the 224 chocolate cupcakes represent.
Let x be the total number of cupcakes sold that day.
We know that 224 is 56% of x, so we can set up the equation:
0.56x = 224
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 0.56:
x = 224 / 0.56
x = 400
Therefore, the bakery sold a total of 400 cupcakes that day.
Let x be the total number of cupcakes sold that day.
We know that 224 is 56% of x, so we can set up the equation:
0.56x = 224
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 0.56:
x = 224 / 0.56
x = 400
Therefore, the bakery sold a total of 400 cupcakes that day.
