For every 60 croissants that Adam bakes,
he bakes 20 cupcakes.
He bakes a total of 160 croissants and cupcakes.
- How many cupcakes does he bake?
- How many more croissants than cupcakes does he bake?
(a)
Number of croissants and cupcakes per set
= 60 + 20
= 80
Number of sets
= 160 ÷ 80
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam bakes
= 2 x 20
= 40
(b) Number of croissants that Adam bakes
= 2 x 60
= 120
Number of more croissants than cupcakes
= 120 - 40
= 80
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 80
