For every 260 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 10 muffins.
It produces a total of 810 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
= 260 + 10
= 270
Number of sets
= 810 ÷ 270
= 3
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 260
= 780
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 10
= 30
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 780 - 30
= 750
Answer(s): (a) 780; (b) 750
