Emily spent
38 of her money on 8 cupcakes and 10 muffins. If each cupcake costs four times as much as a muffin, how many muffins could Emily buy with the rest of her money?
| |
Cupcakes |
Muffins |
| Number |
8 |
10 |
| Value |
4 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
32 u |
10 u |
Cost of 1 muffin = 1 u
Cost of 1 cupcake = 4 u
Total cost of 8 cupcakes and 10 muffins
= 8 x 4 u + 10 x 1 u
= 42 u
Fraction of Emily's money left
= 1 -
38 =
5838 of Emily's money = 42 u
18 of Emily's money = 42 u ÷ 3 = 14 u
58 of Emily's money = 14 u x 5 = 70 u
Number of muffins that Emily could buy
= 70 u ÷ 1 u
= 70
Answer(s): 70
