Question

A bakery sold a total of 400 cupcakes in a day, and 43% of them were vanilla flavored. How many of the cupcakes sold that day were vanilla flavored?

Answer 1

To find the number of vanilla flavored cupcakes sold, you need to calculate 43% of the total cupcakes sold, which is 400.

First, convert the percentage into a decimal:

\[
43\% = \frac{43}{100} = 0.43
\]

Then, multiply this decimal by the total number of cupcakes:

\[
0.43 \times 400 = 172
\]

So, the number of vanilla flavored cupcakes sold that day is

\[
\boxed{172}
\]
