A bakery made some beef, egg and curry muffins. For every 2 beef muffins that were made, 1 curry muffin were made. For every 5 beef muffins that were made, 4 egg muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of beef muffins to egg muffins to curry muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 52 curry muffins, 25% of the muffins now were curry muffins. How many beef muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Beef |
Egg |
Curry |
2x5 |

1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Beef : Egg : Curry
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Beef |
Egg |
Curry |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |

No change |
+ 52 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of beef and egg muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of curry muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 52
Number of beef muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 52
= 520
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 520
