A bakery made some chicken, egg and chocolate puffs. For every 2 chicken puffs that were made, 1 chocolate puff were made. For every 5 chicken puffs that were made, 4 egg puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chicken puffs to egg puffs to chocolate puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 28 chocolate puffs, 25% of the puffs now were chocolate puffs. How many chicken puffs did the bakery make?
(a)
Chicken |
Egg |
Chocolate |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Chicken : Egg : Chocolate
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Chicken |
Egg |
Chocolate |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 28 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of chicken and egg puffs
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of chocolate puffs
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 28
Number of chicken puffs
= 10 u
= 10 x 28
= 280
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 280
