A bakery made some curry, beef and chocolate muffins. For every 2 curry muffins that were made, 1 chocolate muffin were made. For every 5 curry muffins that were made, 4 beef muffins were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of curry muffins to beef muffins to chocolate muffins made.
- After the bakery made another 118 chocolate muffins, 25% of the muffins now were chocolate muffins. How many curry muffins did the bakery make?
(a)
Curry |
Beef |
Chocolate |
2x5 |
|
1x5 |
5x2 |
4x2 |
|
10 u |
8 u |
5 u |
Curry : Beef : Chocolate
10 : 8 : 5
(b)
|
Curry |
Beef |
Chocolate |
Before |
18 u |
5 u |
Change |
No change |
+ 118 |
After |
3x6 = 18 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Total number of curry and beef muffins
= 8 u + 10 u
= 18 u
Increase in the number of chocolate muffins
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 118
Number of curry muffins
= 10 u
= 10 x 118
= 1180
Answer(s): (a) 10 : 8 : 5 ; (b) 1180
