Question

Mini muffins are also sold at Muffin Mart. Each mini muffin is sold for $0.35. Diego has $3.00 for mini muffins. How many mini muffins can he buy with $3.00? *

Answer 1

With $3.00 and each mini muffin costing $0.35, Diego can buy 8 mini muffins.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many mini muffins Diego can buy with $3.00, we need to perform a division operation where we divide the total amount of money Diego has by the cost of one mini muffin. The price of one mini muffin at Muffin Mart is $0.35. Using division to solve this:

Number of mini muffins = Total money / Cost per mini muffin

= $3.00 / $0.35

When you divide $3.00 by $0.35, you get approximately 8.57. Since Diego cannot purchase a fraction of a mini muffin, he can buy 8 mini muffins with his $3.00, as this is the whole number of muffins that fits into his budget.

Answer 2

I agree with both.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's $3 per dozen that would be $0.25 per muffin because

3÷ 12 = 0.25

And if Andre has $2 than he can only afford 8 muffins because

0.25 x 8 = 2

And if Elena wants 16 muffins

16 x 0.25 = 4

So she will have to pay $4.

Hope this makes sense and helps!
