A bakery made some kaya, beef and curry buns. For every 2 kaya buns that were made, 1 curry bun were made. For every 5 kaya buns that were made, 4 beef buns were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of kaya buns to beef buns to curry buns made.
- After the bakery made another 71 curry buns, 25% of the buns now were curry buns. How many kaya buns did the bakery make?
(a)
Kaya |
Beef |
Curry |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Kaya : Beef : Curry
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Kaya |
Beef |
Curry |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 71 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of kaya and beef buns
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of curry buns
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 71
Number of kaya buns
= 10 u
= 10 x 71
= 710
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 710
