For every 170 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 60 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 460 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
= 170 + 60
= 230
Number of sets
= 460 ÷ 230
= 2
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 170
= 340
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 60
= 120
Number of more muffins than cupcakes
= 340 - 120
= 220
Answer(s): (a) 340; (b) 220
