A bakery made some kaya, chicken and curry croissants. For every 2 kaya croissants that were made, 1 curry croissant were made. For every 5 kaya croissants that were made, 4 chicken croissants were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of kaya croissants to chicken croissants to curry croissants made.
- After the bakery made another 70 curry croissants, 25% of the croissants now were curry croissants. How many kaya croissants did the bakery make?
(a)
Kaya |
Chicken |
Curry |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Kaya : Chicken : Curry
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Kaya |
Chicken |
Curry |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 70 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of kaya and chicken croissants
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of curry croissants
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 70
Number of kaya croissants
= 10 u
= 10 x 70
= 700
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 700
