Question

A customer placed an order with a bakeryfor muffins .The baker has completed 37.5%of the order after baking 81 muffins . How many muffins did the customer order?

Answer 1

216 muffins were ordered

Explanation:

81/x = 37.5%/100%

divide 37.5 by 100

81/x = .375

multiply x to both sides

×(x)= ×(x)

81 = .375x

divide both sides by .375

÷.375 = ÷.375

216 = x

x = 216

x = 216
