Use the formula:
Cakes Sold = Total Baked × (Percentage Sold / 100)
Cakes Unsold = Total Baked − Cakes Sold
| Bakery | Total Baked | % Sold | Cakes Sold | Cakes Unsold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 320 | 65% | 320 × 65 ÷ 100 = 208 | 320 − 208 = 112 |
| B | 520 | 40% | 520 × 40 ÷ 100 = 208 | 520 − 208 = 312 |
| C | 240 | 45% | 240 × 45 ÷ 100 = 108 | 240 − 108 = 132 |
| D | 480 | 60% | 480 × 60 ÷ 100 = 288 | 480 − 288 = 192 |
Calculations:
Bakery D:
Unsold cakes = 192
Donated cakes = 50% of 192 = 192 × 0.5 = 96
Bakery B:
Sold cakes = 208
Returned cakes = 25% of 208 = 208 × 0.25 = 52
Required difference = 96 − 52 = 44
Thus, the correct answer is 44.
