Question

Nikos sold muffins at his club's bake sale. He spent $28.50 on supplies. He sold his muffins for $0.75 each, and made a profit of $36.75. write and solve an equation to find out how many muffins he sold.

Answer 1

He sold 87 muffins.
28.50 / 0.75=38 muffins, thats how much he had to sell to get hes money back on the supplies.
36.75 / 0.75=49 muffins, the profit money equals to 49 muffins, so 38+49=87

Answer 2

Answer: 87

Explanation:

Given : Nikos spent $28.50 on supplies.

He sold his muffins for $0.75 each.

Profit he made = $36.75

Total money he made = Money he made in supplies + Profit he made

= $28.50 + $36.75

= $ 65.25

Then, the number of muffins he made = (Total money he made ) ÷ ( Cost of each muffin)

=( $ 65.25) ÷ ($0.75 )

= 87

Hence, the number of muffins he made = 87.
