The owner of a bakery plans to start selling muffin mix. He needs to label it with nutrition information, including how many calories will be in each muffin. He calculates the total calories for the ingredients as follows:

Question

Ingredients Calories
Muffin mix 950
Eggs 215
Oil 365
If his recipe makes 6 muffins, how many calories will each muffin have?

Answer 1

To find the total calories in the muffin mix, you need to sum up the calories from all the ingredients:

• Muffin mix: 950 calories
• Eggs: 215 calories
• Oil: 365 calories

Total calories = 950 + 215 + 365 = 1530 calories

Next, since the recipe makes 6 muffins, you can find the calories per muffin by dividing the total calories by the number of muffins:

Calories per muffin = Total calories / Number of muffins Calories per muffin = 1530 / 6 = 255 calories

Each muffin will have 255 calories.
