Question

A bakery sold 48 chocolate cupcakes in a day, which was 12% of the total number of cupcakes sold that day. How many total cupcakes did the bakery sell that day

Answer 1

$\mathrm{\large{48 \: chocolate \: cupcakes \: = 12\% = \frac{12}{100}}}$

$\mathrm{\large{total \: chocolate \: cupcake \: = \frac{48}{ \frac{12}{100} }}}$

$\mathrm{\large{= \frac{48}{1} \times \frac{100}{12}}}$

$\mathrm{ \large{\frac{4 \times 100}{1} }}$

$\mathrm{\large{= 400}}$
