A bakery made some egg, kaya and lotus paste muffins. For every 2 egg muffins that were made, 1 lotus paste muffin were made. For every 5 egg muffins that were made, 4 kaya muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of egg muffins to kaya muffins to lotus paste muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 107 lotus paste muffins, 25% of the muffins now were lotus paste muffins. How many egg muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Egg |
Kaya |
Lotus Paste |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Egg : Kaya : Lotus Paste
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Egg |
Kaya |
Lotus Paste |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 107 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of egg and kaya muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of lotus paste muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 107
Number of egg muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 107
= 1070
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 1070
