For every 170 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 10 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
= 170 + 10
= 180
Number of sets
= 720 ÷ 180
= 4
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 170
= 680
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 10
= 40
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 680 - 40
= 640
Answer(s): (a) 680; (b) 640
