Percentage of mini cupcakes after Dylan received from Neave
= 100% + 30%
= 130%
Percentage of Dylan's mini cupcakes that Zara had after receiving from Dylan
= 50% x 130%
=
50100 x 130%
= 65%
Percentage of mini cupcakes that Dylan had left after giving to Zara
= 130% - 65%
= 65%
100% = 80
Number of mini cupcakes that Dylan had left
= 65% x 80
=
65100 x 80
= 52
