For every 130 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 30 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 640 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
= 130 + 30
= 160
Number of sets
= 640 ÷ 160
= 4
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 130
= 520
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 30
= 120
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 520 - 120
= 400
Answer(s): (a) 520; (b) 400
