A bakery made some curry, chocolate and beef puffs. For every 2 curry puffs that were made, 1 beef puff were made. For every 8 curry puffs that were made, 7 chocolate puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of curry puffs to chocolate puffs to beef puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 89 beef puffs, 25% of the puffs now were beef puffs. How many curry puffs did the bakery make?
(a)
Curry |
Chocolate |
Beef |
2x4 |
|
1x4 |
8x1 |
7x1 |
|
8 u |
7 u |
4 u |
Curry : Chocolate : Beef
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Curry |
Chocolate |
Beef |
Before |
15 u |
4 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 89 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of curry and chocolate puffs
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of beef puffs
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 89
Number of curry puffs
= 8 u
= 8 x 89
= 712
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 712
