Question

I bought 32 cupcakes , 1/8 are chocolate and half of the rest are vanilla . Remaining are strawberry. How many are strawberry?

Answer 1

Answer: 14

Explanation:

Since 1/8 are chocolate, the number of chocolates will be: = 1/8 × 32 = 4.

Since half of the rest are vanilla, the remaining cupcakes will be: = 32 - 4 = 28

Vanilla will be: = 1/2 × 28 = 14

Number of strawberry will then be:

= 32 - (4 + 14)

= 32 - 18

= 14 strawberries
