For every 270 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 10 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 840 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
= 270 + 10
= 280
Number of sets
= 840 ÷ 280
= 3
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 270
= 810
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 10
= 30
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 810 - 30
= 780
Answer(s): (a) 810; (b) 780
