Respuesta :

Answer:

170 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

We start from the ratio between baker B and C

The ratio of cakes baked by both is 4:3.

We know baker C baker 150 muffins:

This mathematically means:

B:C = 4:3 = B:150

This means 4/3 = B/150

B = (4 * 150)/3 = 200

Baker B baked 200 cakes

We now move back to the first statement

The ratio between baker A and B is 8:5

Mathematically, this means:

A:B = 8:5 = A:200

8/5 = A/200

A = (8 * 200)/5 = 320

The number of cakes baker A baker pass baker C would be 320 - 150 = 170 muffins
