A customer placed an order with a bakery for cupcakes. The baker has completed 37.5% of the order 81 cupcakes. How many cupcakes did the customer order?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total number of cupcakes ordered=216

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cupcakes ordered that the baker completed can be expressed as;

C=P×t

where;

C=Total number of completed order of cupcakes

P=percentage of order completed

t=total number of ordered cupcakes

In our case;

C=81

P=37.5%

t=t

replacing in the above expression;

81=37.5%×t

(37.5/100)×t=81

t=81×100/37.5

t=216

The total number of cupcakes ordered=216
