At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

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?
