Akshara sold 3 5 of her cupcakes and had 350 cupcakes left how many cupcakes did she sell?
Akshara sold 350 cupcakes - 3/5(350 cupcakes) = 350 cupcakes - 210 cupcakes = <<350-210=140>>140 cupcakes.
Therefore, Akshara sold 140 cupcakes. Answer: \boxed{140}.
To find out how many cupcakes Akshara sold, let's subtract the number of cupcakes she had left from the initial number of cupcakes she had.
Total number of cupcakes Akshara had = Number of cupcakes sold + Number of cupcakes left
Let's denote the number of cupcakes sold as 'x'.
3/5 of her cupcakes = x cupcakes
Number of cupcakes left = 350 cupcakes
So, the equation becomes:
x + 350 = total number of cupcakes Akshara had
To find the value of 'x', we need to solve for it.
Subtracting 350 from both sides of the equation:
x + 350 - 350 = total number of cupcakes Akshara had - 350
x = total number of cupcakes Akshara had - 350
Therefore, Akshara sold 'total number of cupcakes Akshara had - 350' cupcakes.
To find out how many cupcakes Akshara sold, you can subtract the number of cupcakes she had left from the total number of cupcakes she had initially.
Given that Akshara had 350 cupcakes left and she sold 3/5 of them, we can set up the equation:
(3/5) * Total cupcakes = 350
To solve for the total number of cupcakes, we need to isolate the unknown variable (Total cupcakes).
First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the denominator:
3 * Total cupcakes = 5 * 350
This simplifies to:
3 * Total cupcakes = 1750
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for the Total cupcakes:
Total cupcakes = 1750 / 3
Using long division, we find that 1750 divided by 3 equals 583 with a remainder of 1.
Therefore, Akshara initially sold a total of 583 cupcakes.
