For every 50 shortbreads that Adam bakes,
he bakes 30 croissants.
He bakes a total of 160 shortbreads and croissants.
- How many croissants does he bake?
- How many more shortbreads than croissants does he bake?
(a)
Number of shortbreads and croissants per set
= 50 + 30
= 80
Number of sets
= 160 ÷ 80
= 2
Number of croissants that Adam bakes
= 2 x 30
= 60
(b) Number of shortbreads that Adam bakes
= 2 x 50
= 100
Number of more shortbreads than croissants
= 100 - 60
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 60; (b) 40
