Question

A baker bakes 50 muffins. 1/5 of the muffins are chocolate chip. 1/2 of the muffins are blueberry. The rest are cinnamon. How many cinnamon muffins does the baker bake?

Answer 1

15 muffins are cinnamon.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of muffins baked = 50 muffins

Chocolate chip muffins = 1/5 of 50 =
`(1)/(5)*50`

Chocolate chip muffins = 10 muffins

Blueberry muffins = 1/2 of 50 =
`(1)/(2)*50`

Blueberry muffins = 25

Cinnamon muffins = Muffins baked - chocolate chip muffins - blueberry muffins

Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 10 - 25

Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 35 = 15

Hence,

15 muffins are cinnamon.
