For every 180 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 140 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 960 muffins and cupcakes,
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more muffins than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of muffins and cupcakes per set
= 180 + 140
= 320
Number of sets
= 960 ÷ 320
= 3
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 180
= 540
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 140
= 420
Number of more muffins than cupcakes
= 540 - 420
= 120
Answer(s): (a) 540; (b) 120
