Question

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?

Answer 1

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%**.
