For every 700 muffins that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 500 buns and 300 cupcakes.
It produces a total of 3600 muffins and buns,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more muffins than cupcakes does Adam's factory produce?
- How many buns and cupcakes does Adam's factory produce in total?
(a)
Number of muffins and buns per set
= 700 + 500
= 1200
Number of sets
= 3600 ÷ 1200
= 3
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 300
= 900
(b)
Number of more muffins than cupcakes per set
= 700 - 300
= 400
Number of more muffins than cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 400
= 1200
(c)
Number of buns and cupcakes per set
= 500 + 300
= 800
Number of buns and cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 3 x 800
= 2400
Answer(s): (a) 900; (b) 1200; (c) 2400
