For every 100 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 50 muffins.
It produces a total of 750 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
= 100 + 50
= 150
Number of sets
= 750 ÷ 150
= 5
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 100
= 500
(b)
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 50
= 250
Number of more cupcakes than muffins
= 500 - 250
= 250
Answer(s): (a) 500; (b) 250
