    Step-by-step explanation:

    percentage is the quantitative way to express number of things out of 100 things.

    For example : 20% of bananas are ripe.

    it means that if there are 100 apples, 20 are ripe.

    Let the total number of cupcakes sold that day be X

    20% of total number of cupcakes sold = 20% of X = (20/100) * X __1

    It is given that 20% of total number of cupcakes sold is equal to 100

    Thus the equation 1 should be equal to 100.

    Writing it mathematically we have

    (20/100) * X = 100

    => 0.2X = 100

    => X = 100/0.2 = 500

    500 cupcakes did the bakery sell that day.
