For every 150 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 80 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 690 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
= 150 + 80
= 230
Number of sets
= 690 ÷ 230
= 3
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 150
= 450
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 80
= 240
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 450 - 240
= 210
Answer(s): (a) 450; (b) 210
