For every 800 buns that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 600 muffins and 500 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 4200 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
= 800 + 600
= 1400
Number of sets
= 4200 ÷ 1400
= 3
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 500
= 1500
(b)
Number of more buns than cupcakes per set
= 800 - 500
= 300
Number of more buns than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 300
= 900
(c)
Number of muffins and cupcakes per set
= 600 + 500
= 1100
Number of muffins and cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 1100
= 3300
Answer(s): (a) 1500; (b) 900; (c) 3300
