Question

The wind blew away 32 of your muffins.
4/5 of all of them! With how
many did you start?

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that 32 muffins is 4/5 of the total. Let's call our total t. The word is always means equals. Therefore we can create the following equation.

4/5t=32

We simply divide both sides by 4/5.

t=40

Therefore, we started with 40 muffins.

Have a wonderful day! :D
