Answer 1

Answer:

300 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Bakery gets 3x cupcakes and supermarket gets 4x cupcakes.

3x + 4x = 525

7x = 525

x = 75

Then, bakery gets 225 cupcakes and supermarket gets 300 cupcakes.

Answer 2

Given - Number of cupcakes

Find - Share of supermarket

Solution - Let the cupcakes shared in bakery and supermarket be 3x and 4x. Representing this in mathematical equation -

3x + 4x = 525

Performing addition

7x = 525

Shifting 7 to Right Hand Side

x = 525/7

Performing division

x = 75

Share of supermarket = 4*75

Performing multiplication

Share of supermarket = 300

Hence, the supermarket gets 300 cupcakes.
