For every 150 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 30 muffins.
It produces a total of 720 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
= 150 + 30
= 180
Number of sets
= 720 ÷ 180
= 4
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 150
= 600
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 30
= 120
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 600 - 120
= 480
Answer(s): (a) 600; (b) 480
