A bakery made some beef, egg and lotus paste muffins. For every 2 beef muffins that were made, 1 lotus paste 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 lotus paste muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 61 lotus paste muffins, 25% of the muffins now were lotus paste muffins. How many beef muffins did the bakery make?
(a)

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

No change |
+ 61 |
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 lotus paste muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 61
Number of beef muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 61
= 610
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 610
