A bakery made some kaya, egg and lotus paste croissants. For every 2 kaya croissants that were made, 1 lotus paste croissant were made. For every 5 kaya croissants that were made, 4 egg croissants were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of kaya croissants to egg croissants to lotus paste croissants made.
- After the bakery made another 43 lotus paste croissants, 25% of the croissants now were lotus paste croissants. How many kaya croissants did the bakery make?
(a)
Kaya |
Egg |
Lotus Paste |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Kaya : Egg : Lotus Paste
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Kaya |
Egg |
Lotus Paste |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 43 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of kaya and egg croissants
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of lotus paste croissants
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 43
Number of kaya croissants
= 10 u
= 10 x 43
= 430
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 430
