For every 60 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 40 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 500 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
= 60 + 40
= 100
Number of sets
= 500 ÷ 100
= 5
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 60
= 300
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 40
= 200
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 300 - 200
= 100
Answer(s): (a) 300; (b) 100
