For every 500 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 400 cupcakes and 200 buns.
It produces 3000 muffins.
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more muffins than buns does Adam's factory produce?
- How many cupcakes, muffins and buns does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of sets of 500 muffins
= 3000 ÷ 500
= 6
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 400
= 2400
(b)
Number of more muffins than buns per set
= 500 - 200
= 300
Number of less cupcakes than muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 300
= 1800
(c)
Number of muffins, cupcakes and buns per set
= 500 + 400 + 200
= 1100
Number of muffins, cupcakes and buns that Adam's factory produces
= 6 x 1100
= 6600
Answer(s): (a) 2400; (b) 1800; (c) 6600
