ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, I would like to thank my Additional Mathematics teacher, Puan Rohani Din as she gives us important guidance and commitment during this project work. She has been a very supportive figure throughout the whole project.

I also would like to also say thanks to all my friends for helping me and always supporting me to help complete this project work. They had done a great job sharing information with other people including me. Without them this project would never have had its conclusion.

For their strong support, I would like to express my gratitude to my beloved parent for helping me to find the mark to complete this project. They have always been by my side and I hope they will be there in the future.

OBJECTIVES
The aims of carrying out this project work are:

To apply and adapt a variety of problem- solving strategies to solve problems

To improve thinking skills

To promote effective mathematical communication

To develop mathematical knowledge through problem solving in a way that increases students interest and confidence

To use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely

To provide learning environment that stimulates and enhances effective learning

 To develop positive attitude towards mathematics

PART I

INTRODUCTION
Muffin comes in variety forms n flavours and are among favourite desserts served during special occasions such s birthday parties, Hari Raya, weddings and others. Muffins are treasured not only because of their wonderful taste but also in the art of muffin baking and muffin decorating.

Baking a muffin offers a tasty way to practice math skills such as fractions and ratios, in a real-world context. Many steps of baking a muffin such as counting ingredients and setting the oven timer, provide basic math practice for young children. Older children and teenagers can use more sophisticated math to solve baking dilemmas, such as how to make a muffin recipe larger or smaller or how to determine what size slices you should cut. Practicing math while baking not only improves your math skills, it helps you become a more flexible and resourceful baker.

PART II

Cute Bakery produce 600 packets of muffin per day with each packet containing 5 pieces and each muffin has a mass 20 g. Shop operates 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, has 3 employers who each of them receives salary of RM 150 per day. The table shows the ratio of the price list and the ingredients used in making muffins.

Ratio Of The Price List And Ingredients Used In Making Muffins

On each day of operation, a total of 25 kg of flour used. Minimum target for each operation was 20%.

a) The total cost of the ingredients in order to produce a cup cake. Flour Milk Sugar Egg Flour Milk Sugar Egg 20g x 5/14 = 7.143g 20g x 4/14 = 5.714g 20g x 2/14 = 2.857g 20g x 3/14 = 4.286g 7.143g/1000g x RM 2 = RM 0.01428 5.714g/1000g x RM 8 = RM 0.04568 2.857g/1000g x RM 1.8 = RM 0.005148 4.286g/1000g x RM 4.8 = RM 0.020592

RM 0.01428 + RM 0.04568 + RM 0.005148 + RM 0.020592 = RM 0.0857

b) Utility costs and arcillary materials amounting to RM 500 per day.

i.

The total operating costs per day for these shops.

Worker Utilities

3 x RM 150 = RM450 RM 500

RM 450 + RM 500 = RM 950

ii.

The total mass of cakes produce every day.

600 x 5 x 20 = 60000g = 60kg

Suggestion of a reasonable selling price for each packet of muffin offered.

Cost material = RM 0.0857 x 600 x 5 = RM 257.10

Utilities cost + Labour = RM 950 RM 257.10 + RM 950 = RM 1207.10

RM 1207.10 + 20% profit = RM 1448.52 per 600 packet RM 1448.52/600 = RM 2.4142 per 1 packet

PART III

During August 2011, Cute Bakery has decided to make all of its muffins decorated and packed in special packages suitable to give as gifts or souvenirs. The quantity of production is not increased and still using the same recipe. Decorative gift packaging cost at 0.5 cents per gram muffin. It takes 0.9 minutes to adorned for each size of muffins. For the purpose of a gift, the smallest size is 20 g per each, while the largest 60 grams per each. If the mixer can be programmed to increase the size of the cake produced by an additional 10 grams of each size. Decorating tasks will be performed by temporary workers. Each part time employees will be paid a

salary of RM 80 per day. An employee can complete it (all sizes) in just 0.9 minutes.

Decorating tasks = 0.5 sen per 1g

20g + 30g + 40g + 50g + 60g = 200g

a) The number of units for each size muffin that can be produced per day

60kg/200g = 300 units for each size

b) The number of workers that should be taken to complete this decorating task when all muffins will be furnished on the same day. 300 Units x 5 size = 1500 units

1500 Units x 0.9 min = 1350 minutes

1 worker 8 hours x 60 minutes workers require = 1350/480

= 480 minutes

= 2.8125 = 3 workers

c)

A schedule of selling prices for each muffin for each size, with a target profit in this festive season is 25%

Decorating task

20g ( RM 10.00 + 0.0857) + ( 0.0158 X 20 ) 30 g ( RM 15.00 + 0.0857 X 3/2 ) + ( 0.0158 X 30 ) 40g ( RM 20.00 + 0.0857 X 4/2 ) + ( 0.0158 X 40 ) 50g ( RM 25.00 + 0.0857 X 5/2 ) + ( 0.0158 X 50 ) 60g ( RM 30.00 + 0.0857 X 6/2 ) + ( 0.0158 X 60 ) Labour + Utilities cost = 60000g RM 950.00

PART IV

At the end of 2011, the owner of Cute Bakery get the information about changes in prices of ingredient used in the following table.

Ingredient Flour Milk Sugar Egg

Price index for the year 2012 based on the year 2011 110 115 100 120

Price index for the year 2012 based on the year 2011

a)

The new price for the resulting packet of muffin in 2012.

Flour Milk Sugar Egg

0.01428 x 1.1 = 0.01571 0.04568 x 1.15 = 0.05253 0.005148 x 1.0 = 0.005148 0.02059 x 1.2 = 0.02471

RM 0.0157 + RM 0.05253 + RM 0.005148 + RM 0.02471 = RM 0.0981 Cost Material = RM 0.0981 x 600 x 5 = RM 294.30 Labour and Utilities = RM 950.00 RM 950.00 + RM294.30 = RM 1244.30

b)

Decorated muffins will be produced in the festive season in 2012 if the increase in prices of materials used in the prices of sales of less than 15% compared to the year 2011. Suggestion of the results is shown by showing the necessary data in support ot the proposed decision.

RM 1244.30 + 20% profite RM 1244.30 x 20/100 = RM 248.86 RM 1244.30 + RM 248.86 = RM 1493.16 for 600 packet

1 packet = RM 1493.16/600 = RM 2.4886

CONCLUSION
While I conducted this project, I have found a lot of information. I have learnt many useful things about muffin. Apart from that, this project encourages the student to work together and share their knowledge. It also encourages students to gather information from the internet, improve thinking skills and promote effective mathematical communication. Not only that, I have learned many moral values throughout doing the additional mathematic project This project has taught me to be responsible on the works that are given to me to be completed. This project also had made me feel more confident to complete my track and not to give up easily when I could not find the answers for the questions. I also learned to be more discipline, completing my task on time and passing the project up to my teacher.

I also enjoyed doing this project during my school holidays as I spent my time with my friends to complete this project and it had strengthen our friendship. Last but not least, I propose that this project should be continued because it brings allot of moral values to the students and also test the students in understanding additional mathematic.
