For every 200 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 90 buns.
It produces a total of 870 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
= 200 + 90
= 290
Number of sets
= 870 ÷ 290
= 3
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 200
= 600
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 90
= 270
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 600 - 270
= 330
Answer(s): (a) 600; (b) 330
