All the blueberry muffins were sold. 3/4 of the chocolate muffins and 5/6 of the vanilla muffins were also sold. There were 71 muffins left. How many muffins were sold?
2 answers
number of vanillas --- x
number of chocs = x + 44
"There were twice as many chocolate muffins as blueberry muffins"
--- number of blueberries = 1/2 chocs
= (1/2)(x+44) = x/2 + 22
after sale, 1/4 of the chocs and 1/6 of vanillas are left, which is 71
(1/4)(x+44) + (1/6)x = 71
times 12
3(x+44) + 2x = 852
3x + 132 + 2x = 852
5x = 720
x = 144
so...
vanillas --- 144
chocholates --- 188
blueberries ----94
total muffins = 144+188+94 = 426
left over = 71
muffins sold = 426-71 =355
check:
sold 3/4 of chocs, leaving 47
sold 5/6 of vanillas, leaving 24
total left over = 47+24 = 71
