An elf ate 15 of your muffins. that was 5/8 of all of them. how many are left?

9

Step-by-step explanation:

An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:

We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.

5/8 of y = 15

5/8 × y = 15

0.625 × y = 15

0.625y = 15

Divide both side by 0.625

0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625

y = 24

The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9
