Question

Gary has 30 blueberry muffins which is 30%Of all blueberry muffins in her basket how many muffins are in her basket

Answer 1

100

Explanation:

If 30% of all of her muffins are blueberry muffins, that means that 30% of 100% are blueberry. We want to find how many total muffins there are in her basket. Using a ratio:

30 muffins 30%

----------------- = --------

x muffins 100%

Cross multiply:

30 (100) = 30 (x)

3000 = 30x

3000/30 = 30x/30

100 = x

x muffins = 100 muffins

So there are a total of 100 muffins in Gary's basket.
