A bakery made some curry, egg and lotus paste puffs. For every 2 curry puffs that were made, 1 lotus paste puff were made. For every 8 curry puffs that were made, 7 egg puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of curry puffs to egg puffs to lotus paste puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 39 lotus paste puffs, 25% of the puffs now were lotus paste puffs. How many curry puffs did the bakery make?
(a)

8 u |

Curry : Egg : Lotus Paste
8 : 7 : 4
(b)

No change |
+ 39 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of curry and egg puffs
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of lotus paste puffs
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 39
Number of curry puffs
= 8 u
= 8 x 39
= 312
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 312
