For every 30 shortbreads that Adam bakes,
he bakes 10 croissants.
He bakes a total of 80 shortbreads and croissants.
- How many croissants does he bake?
- How many more shortbreads than croissants does he bake?
(a)
Number of shortbreads and croissants per set
= 30 + 10
= 40
Number of sets
= 80 ÷ 40
= 2
Number of croissants that Adam bakes
= 2 x 10
= 20
(b) Number of shortbreads that Adam bakes
= 2 x 30
= 60
Number of more shortbreads than croissants
= 60 - 20
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 40
