For every 140 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 70 buns.
It produces a total of 630 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
= 140 + 70
= 210
Number of sets
= 630 ÷ 210
= 3
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 140
= 420
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 70
= 210
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 420 - 210
= 210
Answer(s): (a) 420; (b) 210
