For every 500 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 300 buns and 200 muffins.
It produces a total of 4000 cupcakes and buns,
- How many muffins does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than muffins does Adam's factory produce?
- How many buns and muffins does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and buns per set
= 500 + 300
= 800
Number of sets
= 4000 ÷ 800
= 5
Number of muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 200
= 1000
(b)
Number of more cupcakes than muffins per set
= 500 - 200
= 300
Number of more cupcakes than muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 300
= 1500
(c)
Number of buns and muffins per set
= 300 + 200
= 500
Number of buns and muffins that Adam's factory produces
= 5 x 500
= 2500
Answer(s): (a) 1000; (b) 1500; (c) 2500
