Question

A recipe for chocolate chip muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 310 calories per muffin. You instead decide to make mini-muffins, and the recipe yields 15 muffins. If you eat 5, how many calories will you consume?

Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

1240

Explanation:

The total recipe yields (310)(12)=3720 calories.

This means that each mini muffin has 3720/15=248 calories.

If you eat 5 of these, you will consume 5(248)=1240
