For every 80 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 50 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 780 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
= 80 + 50
= 130
Number of sets
= 780 ÷ 130
= 6
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 80
= 480
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 50
= 300
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 480 - 300
= 180
Answer(s): (a) 480; (b) 180
