A bakery made some chocolate, beef and sardine puffs. For every 2 chocolate puffs that were made, 1 sardine puff were made. For every 5 chocolate puffs that were made, 4 beef puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chocolate puffs to beef puffs to sardine puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 101 sardine puffs, 25% of the puffs now were sardine puffs. How many chocolate puffs did the bakery make?
(a)

1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Chocolate : Beef : Sardine
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Chocolate |
Beef |
Sardine |
Before |

No change |
+ 101 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of chocolate and beef puffs
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of sardine puffs
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 101
Number of chocolate puffs
= 10 u
= 10 x 101
= 1010
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 1010
