A bakery made some chocolate, egg and curry croissants. For every 2 chocolate croissants that were made, 1 curry croissant were made. For every 8 chocolate croissants that were made, 7 egg croissants were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chocolate croissants to egg croissants to curry croissants made.
- After the bakery made another 24 curry croissants, 25% of the croissants now were curry croissants. How many chocolate croissants did the bakery make?
(a)
Chocolate |
Egg |
Curry |
2x4 |
|
1x4 |
8x1 |
7x1 |
|
8 u |
7 u |
4 u |
Chocolate : Egg : Curry
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Chocolate |
Egg |
Curry |
Before |
15 u |
4 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 24 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of chocolate and egg croissants
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of curry croissants
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 24
Number of chocolate croissants
= 8 u
= 8 x 24
= 192
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 192
