For every 230 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 40 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 810 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
= 230 + 40
= 270
Number of sets
= 810 ÷ 270
= 3
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 230
= 690
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 40
= 120
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 690 - 120
= 570
Answer(s): (a) 690; (b) 570
