Answer 1

60 muffins

Explanation:

Muffins = 6 per package

Cookies = 20 per package

His Baker realized they sold the same amount of muffins and cookies yesterday

What is the minimum amount of muffins that were sold yesterday?

To find the minimum amount of muffins sold, find the lowest common multiple of 6 muffins per package and 20 cookies per package

6 muffins per package = 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84

20 cookies per package = 40, 60, 80, 100, 120

The lowest common multiple of of 6 muffins per package and 20 cookies per package is 60.

Therefore, the minimum amount of muffins sold yesterday was 60 muffins.
