For every 50 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 40 cupcakes.
Adam's factory produces 250 buns.
- How many cupcakes did Adam's factory bake?
- How many less cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of sets of 50 buns
= 250 ÷ 50
= 5
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 40
= 200
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces = 250
Number of less cupcakes than buns
= 250 - 200
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 200; (b) 50
