Question

A recipe for chocolate chip muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 350 calories per muffin. You instead decide to make mini-muffins, and the recipe yields 24 muffins. If you eat 2, how many calories will you consume?

Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

So the original recipe makes 12 muffins at 350 calories each.

You instead make 24 mini-muffins, each of which would have half the calories of a regular muffin, but you eat two.

So you effectively just ate a regular muffin.

So you just ate 350 calories.
