For every 40 macarons that Adam bakes,
he bakes 10 shortbreads.
He bakes a total of 200 macarons and shortbreads.
- How many shortbreads does he bake?
- How many more macarons than shortbreads does he bake?
(a)
Number of macarons and shortbreads per set
= 40 + 10
= 50
Number of sets
= 200 ÷ 50
= 4
Number of shortbreads that Adam bakes
= 4 x 10
= 40
(b) Number of macarons that Adam bakes
= 4 x 40
= 160
Number of more macarons than shortbreads
= 160 - 40
= 120
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 120
