Julie bought 45 oz of flour for her bakery. She used 16.5 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.92 oz for each muffin. How many muffins did Julie make if she had 18.38 oz of flour left over?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate how much flour Julie used in total for the loaf of bread and the muffins.

16.5 oz for the loaf of bread
0.92 oz per muffin

Let x be the number of muffins Julie made.
Total flour used = 16.5 + 0.92x

Now, we can calculate how much flour Julie had left over after making the loaf of bread and the muffins.

Total flour bought = 45 oz
Total flour used = 16.5 + 0.92x
Flour left over = Total flour bought - Total flour used

18.38 = 45 - (16.5 + 0.92x)
18.38 = 28.5 - 0.92x
0.92x = 10.12
x = 11

Julie made 11 muffins.
