For every 110 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 70 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 540 buns and cupcakes,
- How many buns does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more buns than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of buns and cupcakes per set
= 110 + 70
= 180
Number of sets
= 540 ÷ 180
= 3
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 110
= 330
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 70
= 210
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 330 - 210
= 120
Answer(s): (a) 330; (b) 120
