For every 40 cupcakes that Adam bakes,
he bakes 20 cookies.
He bakes a total of 180 cupcakes and cookies.
- How many cookies does he bake?
- How many more cupcakes than cookies does he bake?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and cookies per set
= 40 + 20
= 60
Number of sets
= 180 ÷ 60
= 3
Number of cookies that Adam bakes
= 3 x 20
= 60
(b) Number of cupcakes that Adam bakes
= 3 x 40
= 120
Number of more cupcakes than cookies
= 120 - 60
= 60
Answer(s): (a) 60; (b) 60
