Given:
The ratio of cupcakes to cookies was 7:3 on Monday.
The bakery made a total of 90 baked goods (cupcakes and cookies) that day.
To find:
The number of cupcakes.
Solution:
We have, the ratio of cupcakes to cookies was 7:3 on Monday.
Let the number of cupcakes and cookies are 7x and 3x respectively.
Total baked goods = 90
[tex]7x+3x=90[/tex]
[tex]10x=90[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{90}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x=9[/tex]
Now, the number of cupcakes is
[tex]7x=7(9)[/tex]
[tex]7x=63[/tex]
Therefore, the number of cupcakes is 63.
