To solve this problem, we need to follow the given information step by step.

1. Cara baked 16 cupcakes initially.
2. She gave Tracy one-fourth of what she had left.
- To find out how many cupcakes Cara had left, we calculate three-fourths of the total cupcakes.
- Three-fourths of 16 cupcakes is (3/4) * 16 = 12 cupcakes.
3. Cara gave Tracy 12 cupcakes.
4. To find out how many cupcakes Cara has now, we subtract the cupcakes given to Tracy from what Cara had left.
- Cara had 12 cupcakes left - 12 cupcakes given to Tracy = 0 cupcakes.

Therefore, Cara has 0 cupcakes now.

In summary, Cara gave Tracy 12 of the initial 16 cupcakes she baked and now does not have any cupcakes left.

"Of what she had left" leads me to think some data is missing.

If not, 16 - 16/4 = 16 - 4 = 12
