Answer:

The original amount of muffin she original made will be: m = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let 'm' be the muffins made for the bake sale.

Given that after selling 28 muffins, 21 muffins remained.

Thus, the equation becomes

[tex]m - 28 = 21[/tex]

adding 28 to both sides

[tex]m-28+28 = 21+28[/tex]

[tex]m = 49[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that the original amount of muffin she original made will be: m = 49
