For every 300 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 160 muffins.
It produces a total of 920 cupcakes and muffins,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than muffins does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and muffins per set
= 300 + 160
= 460
Number of sets
= 920 ÷ 460
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 300
= 600
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 160
= 320
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 600 - 320
= 280
Answer(s): (a) 600; (b) 280
