Answer:percent increase in cupcake sales from Friday to Saturday= 34%

Step-by-step explanation:

 Step 1

Percent increase = Increase in cup cakes/ Old amount of cupcakes x100

Cupcakes sold on Friday = 19 3/4

Cupcakes sold on  Saturday = 261/2

Increase in sales =26 1/2 -- 19 3/4  ( we will change to decmal for easy solving)

=26.5 - 19.75= 6.75 or 6 3/4

Step 2

Percentage increase = (6 3/4)/ (19 3/4)  x100

Percentage increase = 6.75/19.75 x 100

Percentage increase =0.341 x100 = 34%
