A bakery made some chocolate, beef and chicken puffs. For every 2 chocolate puffs that were made, 1 chicken puff were made. For every 8 chocolate puffs that were made, 7 beef puffs were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of chocolate puffs to beef puffs to chicken puffs made.
- After the bakery made another 36 chicken puffs, 25% of the puffs now were chicken puffs. How many chocolate puffs did the bakery make?
(a)
Chocolate |
Beef |
Chicken |
2x4 |
|
1x4 |
8x1 |
7x1 |
|
8 u |
7 u |
4 u |
Chocolate : Beef : Chicken
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Chocolate |
Beef |
Chicken |
Before |
15 u |
4 u |

No change |
+ 36 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of chocolate and beef puffs
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of chicken puffs
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 36
Number of chocolate puffs
= 8 u
= 8 x 36
= 288
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 288
