Number of matcha muffins at first
= 25% x 100
=
25100 x 100
= 25
Percentage of other muffins
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of other muffins
= 75% x 100
=
75100 x 100
= 75
Number of other muffins in the end
= 100 u - 85 u
= 15 u
The number of other muffins remains unchanged.
75% = 15 u
15 u = 75
1 u = 75 ÷ 15 = 5
Number of matcha muffins in the end
= 85 u
= 85 x 5
= 425
Additional number of matcha muffins that Julie must bake
= 425 - 25
= 400
Answer(s): 400
