A bakery made some beef, mushroom and egg muffins. For every 2 beef muffins that were made, 1 egg muffin were made. For every 5 beef muffins that were made, 4 mushroom muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of beef muffins to mushroom muffins to egg muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 22 egg muffins, 25% of the muffins now were egg muffins. How many beef muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Beef |
Mushroom |
Egg |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Beef : Mushroom : Egg
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Beef |
Mushroom |
Egg |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 22 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of beef and mushroom muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of egg muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 22
Number of beef muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 22
= 220
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 220
