A bakery sold a total of 300 cupcakes in a day, and 57 of them were mocha flavored. What percentage of cupcakes sold that day were mocha flavored?

1 answer

To find the percentage of mocha flavored cupcakes sold, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of mocha cupcakes}}{\text{Total number of cupcakes}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case:

  • Number of mocha cupcakes = 57
  • Total number of cupcakes = 300

Now, plug in the numbers:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{57}{300} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating the fraction:

\[ \frac{57}{300} = 0.19 \]

Then, multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[ 0.19 \times 100 = 19 \]

Therefore, the percentage of cupcakes sold that day that were mocha flavored is 19%.
