For every 500 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 400 muffins and 200 buns.
It produces 1000 cupcakes.
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
- How many muffins, cupcakes and buns does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 500 cupcakes
= 1000 ÷ 500
= 2
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 400
= 800
(b)
Number of more cupcakes than buns per set
= 500 - 200
= 300
Number of less muffins than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 300
= 600
(c)
Number of cupcakes, muffins and buns per set
= 500 + 400 + 200
= 1100
Number of cupcakes, muffins and buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 1100
= 2200
Answer(s): (a) 800; (b) 600; (c) 2200
