For every 100 cookies that Adam bakes,
he bakes 70 muffins.
He bakes a total of 170 cookies and muffins.
- How many muffins does he bake?
- How many more cookies than muffins does he bake?
(a)
Number of cookies and muffins per set
= 100 + 70
= 170
Number of sets
= 170 ÷ 170
= 1
Number of muffins that Adam bakes
= 1 x 70
= 70
(b) Number of cookies that Adam bakes
= 1 x 100
= 100
Number of more cookies than muffins
= 100 - 70
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 70; (b) 30
