Question

A customer placed an order with a bakery for muffins.The Baker has completed 37.5% of the order after baking 81 muffins.How many muffins did the customer order.

Answer 1

The total muffins ordered are 216

Explanation:

Let the total number of muffins ordered by customer be "x"

It is given that, baker has completed 37.5% of total muffins,

That is,
`(37.5(x))/(100)`

It is also said that he has finished baking 81 muffins.

thus,

`(37.5(x))/(100)` = 81

`x = ((81)(100))/(37.5) = 216`

Thus, the total muffins are 216.
