Vanessa spent
27 of her money on 6 wafers and 8 muffins. If each wafer costs five times as much as a muffin, how many muffins could Vanessa buy with the rest of her money?

Wafers |
Muffins |
| Number |
6 |
8 |
| Value |
5 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
30 u |
8 u |
Cost of 1 muffin = 1 u
Cost of 1 wafer = 5 u
Total cost of 6 wafers and 8 muffins
= 6 x 5 u + 8 x 1 u
= 38 u
Fraction of Vanessa's money left
= 1 -
27 =
5727 of Vanessa's money = 38 u
17 of Vanessa's money = 38 u ÷ 2 = 19 u
57 of Vanessa's money = 19 u x 5 = 95 u
Number of muffins that Vanessa could buy
= 95 u ÷ 1 u
= 95
Answer(s): 95
