Question

A bakery sells vanilla cupcakes and mocha cupcakes. It sold 200 cupcakes in a day, and 77% of them were mocha. How many of the cupcakes sold that day were vanilla?

Answer 1

To find out how many vanilla cupcakes were sold, we first need to determine how many mocha cupcakes were sold.

Given that 77% of the 200 cupcakes sold were mocha, we calculate the number of mocha cupcakes as follows:

\[
\text{Mocha cupcakes} = 77\% \text{ of } 200 = \frac{77}{100} \times 200 = 154
\]

Now, to find the number of vanilla cupcakes sold, we subtract the number of mocha cupcakes from the total number of cupcakes sold:

\[
\text{Vanilla cupcakes} = \text{Total cupcakes} - \text{Mocha cupcakes} = 200 - 154 = 46
\]

Thus, the number of vanilla cupcakes sold that day is:

\[
\boxed{46}
\]
