E. 9/10
Total = {cake} + {muffin} - {both} + {neither}
100 = 50 + 40 - 20 + {neither} --> {neither} = 30 --> \(\frac{neither}{total}=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}\).
Answer: B.
Hope it helps.

Bunuel,
I have a question. I got this right, but I still think I'm missing something. If you considered this in a Venn-diagram format, it would be clear that there can be buyer who purchase cake mix and bread mix or muffin mix and bread mix. This would alter the equation somewhat. And I noticed that you didn't consider this. Can you please explain why?
