For every 70 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 10 muffins.
It produces a total of 320 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
= 70 + 10
= 80
Number of sets
= 320 ÷ 80
= 4
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 70
= 280
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 10
= 40
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 280 - 40
= 240
Answer(s): (a) 280; (b) 240
