14 muffins is 2/5 of your muffins.
In total you had 5/5 muffins, which is 5/2 times more.
Hence you had 14*5/2=35 muffins !
Hence you have 35-14=21 left !

Find the total amount. Set up a proportion:
2/5/14 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
2/5x = 14
Divide 2/5 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 5/2:
x = 14 * 5/2
x = 70/2
x = 35
So the total amount of muffins is 35.
Now subtract this from the one's that blew away to find out how many are left.
35 - 14 = 21
So there are 21 muffins left.
2/5/14 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
2/5x = 14
Divide 2/5 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 5/2:
x = 14 * 5/2
x = 70/2
x = 35
So the total amount of muffins is 35.
Now subtract this from the one's that blew away to find out how many are left.
35 - 14 = 21
So there are 21 muffins left.
