Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 336
Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 287
Now, here we are using the method of estimation i.e. rounding the integers to nearest ones.
By estimation, we get
Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 340
Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 290
So,
Difference between them is given by

Hence, Bob sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.
2.5 because if you move x to the other side of the equation you will get y=2.5x, and the constant of proportionality is what x is multiplied by, in this case, it's 2.5.
