For every 500 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 400 buns and 300 cupcakes.
It produces 3000 muffins.
- How many buns does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more muffins than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
- How many buns, muffins and cupcakes does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 500 muffins
= 3000 ÷ 500
= 6
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 400
= 2400
(b)
Number of more muffins than cupcakes per set
= 500 - 300
= 200
Number of less buns than muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 200
= 1200
(c)
Number of muffins, buns and cupcakes per set
= 500 + 400 + 300
= 1200
Number of muffins, buns and cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 1200
= 7200
Answer(s): (a) 2400; (b) 1200; (c) 7200
