310 of the total muffins left.
- How many muffins did she have left?
- What fraction of the total muffins did she give to Xavier?

Total number of muffins = 10 u
10 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 10 = 24
Number of muffins that Marion had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 24
= 72

Number of muffins that Tina gave to Xavier
= 240 - 72 - 40
= 128
Fraction of the total muffins that Marion gave to Xavier
=
