A bakery made some chocolate, chicken and mushroom muffins. For every 2 chocolate muffins that were made, 1 mushroom muffin were made. For every 5 chocolate muffins that were made, 4 chicken muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chocolate muffins to chicken muffins to mushroom muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 36 mushroom muffins, 25% of the muffins now were mushroom muffins. How many chocolate muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Chocolate |
Chicken |
Mushroom |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Chocolate : Chicken : Mushroom
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Chocolate |
Chicken |
Mushroom |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 36 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of chocolate and chicken muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of mushroom muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 36
Number of chocolate muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 36
= 360
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 360
