To find out how many cupcakes were sold, we first need to determine how many of the 288 pastries were cookies and how many were cupcakes.
1. **Calculate the number of cookies sold:**
- According to the problem, \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the pastries sold were cookies.
- So, the number of cookies is:
\[
\text{Number of cookies} = \frac{2}{3} \times 288 = 192
\]
2. **Calculate the number of cupcakes sold:**
- The rest of the pastries are cupcakes, which means we subtract the number of cookies from the total pastries:
\[
\text{Number of cupcakes} = 288 - 192 = 96
\]
Therefore, the number of cupcakes sold is **96**.
