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

Total number of muffins = 10 u
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
Number of muffins that Joelle had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 30
= 90

Number of muffins that Tina gave to Albert
= 300 - 90 - 50
= 160
Fraction of the total muffins that Joelle gave to Albert
