Given :
Total Muffins = 500
Muffins sold = 3/ 4 of total Muffins
So, Muffins sold = 500 × 3/ 4
= 125 × 3
= 375
Then, Muffins left = 500 - 375
= 125 Muffins
Now, 2/5 of the remaining Muffins are given to charity fundraiser.
So, Muffins given to charity = 125 × 2/5
= 50
Then, Muffins left = 125 - 50
= 75
Hence, there are 75 Muffins left.
