It produces 4000 cupcakes.
- How many buns does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than muffins does Adam's factory produce?
- How many buns, cupcakes and muffins does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 500 cupcakes
= 4000 ÷ 500
= 8
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 8 x 400
= 3200
(b)
Number of more cupcakes than muffins per set
= 500 - 300
= 200
Number of less buns than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 8 x 200
= 1600
(c)
Number of cupcakes, buns and muffins per set
= 500 + 400 + 300
= 1200
Number of cupcakes, buns and muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 8 x 1200
= 9600
Answer(s): (a) 3200; (b) 1600; (c) 9600
