For every 900 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 800 muffins and 500 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 3400 buns and muffins,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more buns than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
- How many muffins and cupcakes does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of buns and muffins per set
= 900 + 800
= 1700
Number of sets
= 3400 ÷ 1700
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 500
= 1000
(b)
Number of more buns than cupcakes per set
= 900 - 500
= 400
Number of more buns than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 400
= 800
(c)
Number of muffins and cupcakes per set
= 800 + 500
= 1300
Number of muffins and cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 1300
= 2600
Answer(s): (a) 1000; (b) 800; (c) 2600
