Question

Nina brought 25 cupcakes to school for her friends. There were two flavors, chocolate and vanilla. For every 2 chocolate cupcakes she brought, Nina brought 3 vanilla cupcakes.

How many vanilla cupcakes did Nina take to school? Explain.

Answer 1

The number of vanilla cupcakes that Nina took to school is; 15 vanilla cupcakes

We are given;

Number of cake Nina bought for her friends = 25 cupcakes

There are two flavors namely chocolate and vanilla.

Now, we are told that for every 2 chocolate cupcakes she bought, she bought 3 vanilla cupcakes. Thus;

Fraction of chocolate cupcakes of the total = 2/(2 + 3) = 2/5

Fraction of vanilla cupcakes of the total = 3/5

Thus;

Number of the chocolate cupcakes she bought = 2/5 × 25 = 10 chocolate cupcakes

Number of the vanilla cupcakes she bought = 3/5 × 25 = 15 vanilla cupcakes
