Maya has 120 cupcakes to sell. Each cupcake is covered with one topping. 1/5 of the cupcakes are covered with peanuts. 1/3 are covered with chocolate chips. 36 are covered with coconut. The rest are covered with sprinkles. How many cupcakes are covered with sprinkles?

There are 20 cupcakes covered with sprinkles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of cupcakes that are covered with sprinkles you would have to subtract the amount of cupcakes covered with peanuts, the ones covered with chocolate chips and the ones covered with coconut from the total amount of cupcakes:

Total amount of cupcakes=120

cupcakes covered with peanuts=1/5*120=24

cupcakes covered with chocolate chips=1/3*120=40

cupcakes covered with coconut=36

Now, you can subtract the different cupcakes from the total amount to find the quantity left that would be the ones covered with sprinkles:

cupcakes covered with sprinkles=120-24-40-36

cupcakes covered with sprinkles=20

According to this, the answer is that there are 20 cupcakes covered with sprinkles.
