Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:The baker:

Baked 90 muffins on Monday

Baked 24 Blueberry muffins on Tuesday

On Monday. The baker baked 36 blueberry muffins and this is 40% of the total she makes. Assuming the total is x, the expression would be:

36 = x × 40%

36 = 0.4x

x = 36 / 0.4

= 90 muffins in total

On Tuesday, she makes 60 muffins of which blueberry muffins are 40%:

= 60 × 40%

= 24 blueberry muffins

In conclusion, the Baker baked 90 muffins in total on Monday and 24 blueberry muffins on Tuesday.
