For every 310 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 20 buns.
It produces a total of 660 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
= 310 + 20
= 330
Number of sets
= 660 ÷ 330
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 310
= 620
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 20
= 40
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 620 - 40
= 580
Answer(s): (a) 620; (b) 580
