For every 700 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 500 muffins and 400 buns.
It produces a total of 3600 cupcakes and muffins,
- How many buns does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
- How many muffins and buns does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and muffins per set
= 700 + 500
= 1200
Number of sets
= 3600 ÷ 1200
= 3
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 400
= 1200
(b)
Number of more cupcakes than buns per set
= 700 - 400
= 300
Number of more cupcakes than buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 300
= 900
(c)
Number of muffins and buns per set
= 500 + 400
= 900
Number of muffins and buns that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 900
= 2700
Answer(s): (a) 1200; (b) 900; (c) 2700
