Question

Tina's bakery sells cinnamon, banana ,apple ,blueberry muffins. Each day, the bakery bakes 63 apple muffins. The apple muffins represent 42% of all muffins baked each day. How many muffins are baked each day

Answer 1

150 muffins

First, let’s make a proportion

Part/whole

We know a part of all the muffins made, which is 63, but we want to find the total or whole, so that is x

63/x

We can set this equal to the percent, or 42/100

63/x=42/100

Cross multiply

42x=6300

Divide by 42 on both sides

X=150

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

150 in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equivalent of 100% to get the total number made in a day:

42%  =  63  

1% = 63/42

100% = (63/42) * 100

= 3/2 * 100

= 150.
