For every 170 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 110 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 840 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
= 170 + 110
= 280
Number of sets
= 840 ÷ 280
= 3
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 170
= 510
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 110
= 330
Number of more muffins than cupcakes
= 510 - 330
= 180
Answer(s): (a) 510; (b) 180
