    Answer: 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
