For every 240 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 90 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 660 buns and cupcakes,
- How many buns does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more buns than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of buns and cupcakes per set
= 240 + 90
= 330
Number of sets
= 660 ÷ 330
= 2
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 240
= 480
(b)
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 90
= 180
Number of more buns than cupcakes
= 480 - 180
= 300
Answer(s): (a) 480; (b) 300
