For every 180 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 60 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 720 muffins and cupcakes,
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more muffins than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of muffins and cupcakes per set
= 180 + 60
= 240
Number of sets
= 720 ÷ 240
= 3
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 180
= 540
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 60
= 180
Number of more muffins than cupcakes
= 540 - 180
= 360
Answer(s): (a) 540; (b) 360
