Paul shares 525 cupcakes in the ratio of 3:4 between his bakery and a supermarket. How many cupcakes does the supermarket get?

Answer :

Answer:

Supermarket gets 300 cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total cupcakes = 525,

Since, the ratio of bakery and supermarket cupcakes = 3 : 4,

Let the bakery cupcakes = 3x and supermarket cupcakes = 4x

Where x is any positive real number.

So, the total cupcakes = 3x + 4x = 7x

[tex]\implies 7x = 525[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7,

[tex]x=75[/tex]

Hence, the supermarket cupcakes = 4(75) = 300

The share of the cupcakes gotten by the supermarket is 300

  • Sharing ratio = 3 : 4

  • Total number of cupcakes = 525

Share of supermarket can be calculated thus :

Supermarket portion = 4

Sum of ratio = 3 + 4 = 7

Share of supermarket = (Supermarket portion / sum of ratio) × amount of cupcake

Share of supermarket = (4 / 7) × 525

Share of supermarket = 300

Therefore, the share of cupcake gotten by the supermarket Is 300.
