Question

A recipe for blueberry muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 270 calories per muffin. You instead decide to make

mini-muffins, and the recipe yields 20 mini-muffins. If you eat 7 mini-muffins, how many calories will you consume?

Answer 1

If you eat 7 mini-muffins, will you consume 1134 calories.

Explanation:

A recipe for blueberry muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 270 calories per muffin.

i.e.

• No of muffins = 12 muffins

• Calories per muffin = 270 calories

Total calories of standard muffins = 270 × 12 = 3240 calories

If the same amount of calories are made by 20 mini-muffins, then the total number of calories per mini-muffin will be:

3240/20 =
`162` calories per muffin

As you ate 7 mini-muffins.

Thus,

Your eaten calories = 162 × 7 ∵ 162 calories per muffin

= 1134 calories

Therefore, if you eat 7 mini-muffins, will you consume 1134 calories.
