You baked 42 chocolate cupcakes and 28 red velvet cupcakes. You package them in boxes that have the same ratio of chocolate to red velvet as the total cupcakes. How many red velvet cupcakes are in a box that has 24 chocolate cupcakes?
Divide 28 by 42, which is 66.6 and multiply 0.66 by 24, and you get 16.
