A bakery made some curry, sardine and mushroom buns. For every 2 curry buns that were made, 1 mushroom bun were made. For every 5 curry buns that were made, 4 sardine buns were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of curry buns to sardine buns to mushroom buns made.
- After the bakery made another 98 mushroom buns, 25% of the buns now were mushroom buns. How many curry buns did the bakery make?
(a)
Curry |
Sardine |
Mushroom |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Curry : Sardine : Mushroom
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Curry |
Sardine |
Mushroom |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |

No change |
+ 98 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of curry and sardine buns
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of mushroom buns
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 98
Number of curry buns
= 10 u
= 10 x 98
= 980
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 980
