For every 330 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 120 buns.
It produces a total of 900 cupcakes and buns,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and buns per set
= 330 + 120
= 450
Number of sets
= 900 ÷ 450
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 330
= 660
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 120
= 240
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 660 - 240
= 420
Answer(s): (a) 660; (b) 420
