For every 40 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 10 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 650 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
= 40 + 10
= 50
Number of sets
= 650 ÷ 50
= 13
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 13 x 40
= 520
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 13 x 10
= 130
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 520 - 130
= 390
Answer(s): (a) 520; (b) 390
