For every 260 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 240 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 1000 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
= 260 + 240
= 500
Number of sets
= 1000 ÷ 500
= 2
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 260
= 520
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 240
= 480
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 520 - 480
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 520; (b) 40
