total= 140/3+35

tatal = 81.666666666666666666666666666666666

Answer 2

The number of cupcakes sold is 15.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of brownies.

Then, the number of cupcakes = $\dfrac{3}{4}x$

If he sold 35 pieces in all, then

Number of brownies +Number of cupcakes = 35

$x+\dfrac{3}{4}x=35\\\\\dfrac{4+3}{4}x=35\\\\ \dfrac{7}{4}x=35\\\\ x=\dfrac{35\times4}{7}\\\\ x=20$

So , number of brownies = 20

Number of cupcakes = $\dfrac{3}{4}(20)=3\times5=15$

Hence, the number of cupcakes sold is 15.
