______________________

$\sf{\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let the pineapple muffins and mango muffins be 3x and 2x

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Acc. to the 2nd statement :-

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ \dfrac{3x- 144 }{2x}= \dfrac{ 3 }{5}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ 5 ( 3x - 144) = 3 \times 2x }}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ 15x - 720 = 6x}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ 15x - 6x = 720 }}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ 9x = 720}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ x = \dfrac{720}{9}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf :\implies\: {\bold{ x = 80 }}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀

putting value of x in the no. of pineapple muffins

⠀⠀⠀⠀

pineapple muffins = 3x

⠀⠀

pineapple muffins = 3 × 80

⠀⠀

pineapple muffins = 240
