A bakery made some chocolate, mushroom and beef buns. For every 2 chocolate buns that were made, 1 beef bun were made. For every 5 chocolate buns that were made, 4 mushroom buns were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chocolate buns to mushroom buns to beef buns made.
- After the bakery made another 90 beef buns, 25% of the buns now were beef buns. How many chocolate buns did the bakery make?
(a)
Chocolate |
Mushroom |
Beef |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Chocolate : Mushroom : Beef
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Chocolate |
Mushroom |
Beef |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 90 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of chocolate and mushroom buns
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of beef buns
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 90
Number of chocolate buns
= 10 u
= 10 x 90
= 900
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 900
