Total time avalable = 1 hour = 60 minnutes.

Time for preheating the oven = minutes.

Time available for baking is 60 - 10 = 50 minutes.

This allows two sets of muffins to be baked (25 minutes for each bake).

Let p = number of muffins made.

p = (4 pans) * (12 muffns/pan) * (2 sets) = 96 muffns

Answer: 96 muffins
