Abaker baked some loaves of bread. 240 loaves were sold by the end of the day. the baker was then left with 9/25 of the number of loaves that were baked. how many loaves of bread did the baker bake on that day?

The baker baked 375 loaves of bread that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the baker baked a total of x loaves of bread.

240 loaves were sold by the end of the day.

The baker was then left with 9/25 of the number of loaves that were baked.

We get the equation:

Solving for x;

=>

=>

=>

=>

x = 375

Therefore, the baker baked 375 loaves of bread that day.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
