A bakery made some kaya, beef and lotus paste buns. For every 2 kaya buns that were made, 1 lotus paste bun were made. For every 8 kaya buns that were made, 7 beef buns were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of kaya buns to beef buns to lotus paste buns made.
- After the bakery made another 112 lotus paste buns, 25% of the buns now were lotus paste buns. How many kaya buns did the bakery make?
(a)
Kaya |
Beef |
Lotus Paste |
2x4 |
|
1x4 |
8x1 |
7x1 |
|
8 u |
7 u |
4 u |
Kaya : Beef : Lotus Paste
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Kaya |
Beef |
Lotus Paste |
Before |
15 u |
4 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 112 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of kaya and beef buns
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of lotus paste buns
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 112
Number of kaya buns
= 8 u
= 8 x 112
= 896
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 896
