Question

Maria made blueberry muffins for a bake sale. Each muffin cost her about $0.25 to make. She spent $8.75 to make all of the muffins. Maria sold each muffin for $0.50 more than it cost her to make.

What is the total amount of money that Maria received from selling her muffins?

Answer 1

Answer: $17.50.

Step-by-step explanation;

If each muffin cost her $0.25 to make and she spent $8.75 making all muffins, then you can divide this amount to find out how many muffins she made (8.75/0.25), this is 35 muffins. If she sold each muffin for $0.50, multiply the number of muffins (35) by their price ($0.50), this is $17.50. Therefore, Maria received $17.50 from selling her muffins.
