For every 800 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 500 muffins and 400 buns.
It produces 4000 cupcakes.
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
- How many muffins, cupcakes and buns does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 800 cupcakes
= 4000 ÷ 800
= 5
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 500
= 2500
(b)
Number of more cupcakes than buns per set
= 800 - 400
= 400
Number of less muffins than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 400
= 2000
(c)
Number of cupcakes, muffins and buns per set
= 800 + 500 + 400
= 1700
Number of cupcakes, muffins and buns that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 1700
= 8500
Answer(s): (a) 2500; (b) 2000; (c) 8500
