C 30%

D 25%

1 answer

To find the percentage of cupcakes that have cream filling, we need to find the total number of cupcakes with cream filling and then divide that by the total number of cupcakes.

The total number of cupcakes with cream filling is 15 + 5 = <<15+5=20>>20 cupcakes.

The total number of cupcakes is 50 + 30 = <<50+30=80>>80 cupcakes.

The percentage of cupcakes with cream filling is (20/80) x 100% = 25%.

Therefore, the answer is D 25%.
