For every 500 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 400 muffins and 200 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 4500 buns and muffins,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more buns than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
- How many muffins and cupcakes does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of buns and muffins per set
= 500 + 400
= 900
Number of sets
= 4500 ÷ 900
= 5
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 200
= 1000
(b)
Number of more buns than cupcakes per set
= 500 - 200
= 300
Number of more buns than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 300
= 1500
(c)
Number of muffins and cupcakes per set
= 400 + 200
= 600
Number of muffins and cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 600
= 3000
Answer(s): (a) 1000; (b) 1500; (c) 3000
