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