For every 70 croissants that Adam bakes,
he bakes 60 cupcakes.
He bakes a total of 130 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
= 70 + 60
= 130
Number of sets
= 130 ÷ 130
= 1
Number of cupcakes that Adam bakes
= 1 x 60
= 60
(b) Number of croissants that Adam bakes
= 1 x 70
= 70
Number of more croissants than cupcakes
= 70 - 60
= 10
Answer(s): (a) 60; (b) 10
