A bakery made some chicken, egg and curry puffs. For every 2 chicken puffs that were made, 1 curry puff were made. For every 8 chicken puffs that were made, 7 egg puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chicken puffs to egg puffs to curry puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 73 curry puffs, 25% of the puffs now were curry puffs. How many chicken puffs did the bakery make?
(a)

4 u |
Chicken : Egg : Curry
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Chicken |

No change |
+ 73 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of chicken and egg puffs
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of curry puffs
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 73
Number of chicken puffs
= 8 u
= 8 x 73
= 584
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 584
