Answer:

\boxed{43}

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the easiest way to solve this problem is by brute force: trial and error.

We must find numbers that when divided by  

  • 4 leave 3 (4n + 3)
  • 5 leave 3 (5n + 3)
  • 6 leave 1  (6n + 1)

Here is a list of multiples of the integer n that satisfy the three conditions. \begin{array}{c|ccc}\mathbf{n} & \mathbf{4n+ 3} & \mathbf{5n + 3} & \mathbf{6n + 1}\\1 & 7 & 8 & 7\\2 & 11 & 13 & 13\\3 & 15 & 18 & 19\\4 & 19 & 23 & 25\\5 & 23 & 28 & 31\\6 & 27 & 33 & 37\\7 & 31 & 38 & \mathbf{43}\\8 & 35 & \mathbf{43} & 49\\9 & 39 & 48 & 55\\10 & \mathbf{43} & 53 & 61\\\end{array}\\\text{The only number that is common to all three lists is $\mathbf{43}$.}\\\text{The smallest possible number of muffins Mr. Baker could have baked is $\boxed{\mathbf{43}}$.}

Check:

43 \div 4 = 10R3\\43 \div5 = 8R3\\43 \div 6 = 7R1

OK .

Max went to the store and bought 22 apples. He bought twice as many red apples as he did green, and he bought one-third many yel
katrin [286]

Let the number of green apples bought be x


Green apples = x

Red apples = 2x

Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x


Total = 22 apples

x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22

11/3 x = 22

11x = 66

x = 6


Green apples = x = 6

Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12

Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4


Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4
