For every 500 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 400 buns and 300 muffins.
It produces 5000 cupcakes.
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many less buns than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
- How many buns, cupcakes and muffins does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 500 cupcakes
= 5000 ÷ 500
= 10
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 10 x 300
= 3000
(b)
Number of less buns than cupcakes per set
= 500 - 400
= 100
Number of less buns than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 10 x 100
= 1000
(c)
Number of cupcakes, buns and muffins per set
= 500 + 400 + 300
= 1200
Number of cupcakes, buns and muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 10 x 1200
= 12000
Answer(s): (a) 3000; (b) 1000; (c) 12000
