A bakery made some mushroom, sardine and kaya muffins. For every 2 mushroom muffins that were made, 1 kaya muffin were made. For every 5 mushroom muffins that were made, 4 sardine muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of mushroom muffins to sardine muffins to kaya muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 65 kaya muffins, 25% of the muffins now were kaya muffins. How many mushroom muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Mushroom |
Sardine |
Kaya |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Mushroom : Sardine : Kaya
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Mushroom |
Sardine |
Kaya |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 65 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of mushroom and sardine muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of kaya muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 65
Number of mushroom muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 65
= 650
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 650
