A bakery sold 26 vanilla cupcakes in a day, which was 13% of the total number of cupcakes sold that day. How many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day?

Answer 1

To find the total number of cupcakes sold that day, we need to first determine what 100% represents in terms of cupcakes.

Let x be the total number of cupcakes sold that day.

13% of x is equal to 26 cupcakes.

0.13x = 26

Dividing both sides by 0.13:

x = 26 / 0.13
x = 200

Therefore, the bakery sold a total of 200 cupcakes that day.
