Question

Paula’s cupcakes recently sold 5 red velvet cupcakes and 10 other cupcakes. Considering this data, how many of the next 18 cupcakes sold would you expect to be red velvet cupcakes?

Answer 1

The next cupcake that would be sold would be red velvet
This is because if you plus ten and five, you have fifteen. So, we need to figure out what cupcake would sell if we were to sell 18
But,w e already have 15 cupcakes sold, so we just need to figure out what cupcake would be sold in the next red sales (18-15=3)
We already know that five of the next sales would be red velvet
And three is a value that's still within the number five.
So, red velvet cupcakes would sell
