For every 200 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 60 buns.
It produces a total of 780 cupcakes and buns,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and buns per set
= 200 + 60
= 260
Number of sets
= 780 ÷ 260
= 3
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 200
= 600
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 60
= 180
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 600 - 180
= 420
Answer(s): (a) 600; (b) 420
