A bakery made some kaya, sardine and lotus paste muffins. For every 2 kaya muffins that were made, 1 lotus paste muffin were made. For every 5 kaya muffins that were made, 4 sardine muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of kaya muffins to sardine muffins to lotus paste muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 41 lotus paste muffins, 25% of the muffins now were lotus paste muffins. How many kaya muffins did the bakery make?

Kaya : Sardine : Lotus Paste
10 : 8 : 5

+ 41 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of kaya and sardine muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of lotus paste muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 41
Number of kaya muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 41
= 410
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 410
