A bakery made some kaya, lotus paste and chicken puffs. For every 2 kaya puffs that were made, 1 chicken puff were made. For every 5 kaya puffs that were made, 4 lotus paste puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of kaya puffs to lotus paste puffs to chicken puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 39 chicken puffs, 25% of the puffs now were chicken puffs. How many kaya puffs did the bakery make?
(a)
Kaya |
Lotus Paste |
Chicken |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Kaya : Lotus Paste : Chicken
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Kaya |
Lotus Paste |
Chicken |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 39 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of kaya and lotus paste puffs
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of chicken puffs
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 39
Number of kaya puffs
= 10 u
= 10 x 39
= 390
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 390
