You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Amanda [17]

The double of 25 is (25+25), or (25x25). 7 less would be (25+25) -7. Figure out what 25 + 25 is, then subtract 7 from your answer.

What are 26 divide by 4,340

mart [117]

$\frac { 26 }{ 4,340 } \\ \\ =\frac { 26 }{ 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 3 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+4\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 } } \\ \\ =\frac { 26 }{ 10\left( 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 }+4 \right) } \\ \\ =\frac { 2\cdot 13 }{ 2\cdot 5\left( 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 }+4 \right) } \\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 5\left( 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 }+4 \right) }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 5\left( 400+30+4 \right) } \\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 2,000+150+20 } \\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 2,170 }$
