For every 230 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 220 buns.
It produces a total of 900 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
= 230 + 220
= 450
Number of sets
= 900 ÷ 450
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 230
= 460
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 220
= 440
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 460 - 440
= 20
Answer(s): (a) 460; (b) 20
