A bakery made some chocolate, lotus paste and curry croissants. For every 2 chocolate croissants that were made, 1 curry croissant were made. For every 5 chocolate croissants that were made, 4 lotus paste croissants were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chocolate croissants to lotus paste croissants to curry croissants made.
- After the bakery made another 34 curry croissants, 25% of the croissants now were curry croissants. How many chocolate croissants did the bakery make?
(a)
Chocolate |
Lotus Paste |
Curry |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Chocolate : Lotus Paste : Curry
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Chocolate |
Lotus Paste |
Curry |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 34 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of chocolate and lotus paste croissants
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of curry croissants
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 34
Number of chocolate croissants
= 10 u
= 10 x 34
= 340
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 340
