If you eat 7 mini-muffins, how many calories will you consume?

Question

A recipe for blueberry muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 265 calories per muffin. You instead decide to make mini-muffins, and the recipe yields 20 mini-muffins. If you eat 7 mini-muffins, how many calories will you consume?

Answer 1

A recipe for blueberry muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 265 calories per muffin, so one batch of standard size muffins has 12(265) =3180 calories.  

 

If the same amount of ingredients is made into 20 minimuffins, that's 3180/20 = 159 calories per minimuffin.  

 

Eating 7 of these will be a consumption of 7(159) = 1113 calories.
