A bakery made some curry, sardine and egg buns. For every 2 curry buns that were made, 1 egg bun were made. For every 8 curry buns that were made, 7 sardine buns were made.
- Find the ratio of the number of curry buns to sardine buns to egg buns made.
- After the bakery made another 26 egg buns, 25% of the buns now were egg buns. How many curry buns did the bakery make?
(a)
Curry |
Sardine |
Egg |
2x4 |
|
1x4 |
8x1 |
7x1 |
|
8 u |
7 u |
4 u |
Curry : Sardine : Egg
8 : 7 : 4
(b)
|
Curry |
Sardine |
Egg |
Before |

4 u |

No change |
+ 26 |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Total number of curry and sardine buns
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
Increase in the number of egg buns
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
1 u = 26
Number of curry buns
= 8 u
= 8 x 26
= 208
Answer(s): (a) 8 : 7 : 4 ; (b) 208
