A bakery made some egg, curry and chicken croissants. For every 2 egg croissants that were made, 1 chicken croissant were made. For every 5 egg croissants that were made, 4 curry croissants were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of egg croissants to curry croissants to chicken croissants made.
- After the bakery made another 36 chicken croissants, 25% of the croissants now were chicken croissants. How many egg croissants did the bakery make?
(a)
Egg |
Curry |
Chicken |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Egg : Curry : Chicken
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Egg |
Curry |
Chicken |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |

No change |
+ 36 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of egg and curry croissants
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of chicken croissants
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 36
Number of egg croissants
= 10 u
= 10 x 36
= 360
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 360
