Question

Of the 1,500 muffins a bakery sold in one day, 1/3 were chocolate. how many chocolate muffins did the bakery sell?

Answer 1

Given that "Of the 1500 muffins a bakery sold in one day, 1/3 were chocolate."

So number of chocolate muffins can be found by product of total muffins and 1/3

which is given by

$\frac{1}{3}*1500=\frac{1*1500}{3}=\frac{1500}{3}=500$

Hence the number of chocolate muffins sold by bakery was 500.

Answer 2

That'd be one third of 1500 muffins, or 500 muffins.
