Answer:

They sold 60 muffins and 60 cookies yesterday

It is a LCM problem

Step-by-step explanation:

6 muffins together

20 cookies together

To sell the same amount of muffins and cookies,

Find the lowest common multiple of 6 muffins and 20 cookies

6 muffins = 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78

20 cookies = 40, 60, 80

The lowest common multiple of 6 muffins and 20 cookies is 60

Therefore,

They sold 60 muffins and 60 cookies yesterday

It is a LCM problem
