Answer: 40 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of them then eats all the cupcakes he was given; that means each of the 5 friends ate 4 cupcakes -- a total of 20 cupcakes.

If eating those decreased the total number of cupcakes by half, then the total number of cupcakes at the beginning was 40.

ANSWER: There were 40 cupcakes total among the 5 friends at the start.
