For every 500 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 400 cupcakes and 300 muffins.
It produces 3000 buns.
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many less cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
- How many cupcakes, buns and muffins does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 500 buns
= 3000 ÷ 500
= 6
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 300
= 1800
(b)
Number of less cupcakes than buns per set
= 500 - 400
= 100
Number of less cupcakes than buns that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 100
= 600
(c)
Number of buns, cupcakes and muffins per set
= 500 + 400 + 300
= 1200
Number of buns, cupcakes and muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 1200
= 7200
Answer(s): (a) 1800; (b) 600; (c) 7200
