Question #N980
A bakery has 120 cakes on display. Of those cakes, 25% are chocolate, 30% are vanilla, and the rest are strawberry. How many strawberry cakes are on display?
A. 36
B. 48
C. 60
D. 72
Correct Answer is: C
First, we need to find the total percentage of chocolate and vanilla cakes: 25% + 30% = 55%. This means 55% of the cakes are either chocolate or vanilla. The remaining cakes must be strawberry: 100% - 55% = 45%. To find the number of strawberry cakes, we multiply the total number of cakes by 45%: 120 cakes * 0.45 = 54 cakes. The closest answer choice to 54 cakes is 60, so the answer is C.
