For every 80 cupcakes that Adam bakes,
he bakes 20 scones.
He bakes a total of 200 cupcakes and scones.
- How many scones does he bake?
- How many more cupcakes than scones does he bake?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and scones per set
= 80 + 20
= 100
Number of sets
= 200 ÷ 100
= 2
Number of scones that Adam bakes
= 2 x 20
= 40
(b) Number of cupcakes that Adam bakes
= 2 x 80
= 160
Number of more cupcakes than scones
= 160 - 40
= 120
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 120
