Hazel spent
49 of her money on 10 muffins and 4 cupcakes. If each muffin costs twice as much as a cupcake, how many muffins could Hazel buy with the rest of her money?
| |
Muffins |
Cupcakes |
| Number |
10 |
4 |
| Value |
2 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
20 u |
4 u |
Cost of 1 cupcake = 1 u
Cost of 1 muffin = 2 u
Total cost of 10 muffins and 4 cupcakes
= 10 x 2 u + 4 x 1 u
= 24 u
Fraction of Hazel's money left
= 1 -
49 =
5949 of Hazel's money = 24 u
19 of Hazel's money = 24 u ÷ 4 = 6 u
59 of Hazel's money = 6 u x 5 = 30 u
Number of muffins that Hazel could buy
= 30 u ÷ 2 u
= 15
Answer(s): 15
