For every 180 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 70 muffins.
It produces a total of 1000 cupcakes and muffins,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than muffins does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and muffins per set
= 180 + 70
= 250
Number of sets
= 1000 ÷ 250
= 4
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 180
= 720
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 4 x 70
= 280
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 720 - 280
= 440
Answer(s): (a) 720; (b) 440
