Answer: 210 kg of sugar remains.

Explanation:

Let's break it down step by step:

If the bakery bought 450 kg of sugar and we're dividing it into parts:

1/3 of the sugar was used for baking sugar muffins.

1/5 of the sugar was used for baking cinnamon muffins.

To find out how much was used for each type of muffin, we need to calculate these fractions:

1/3 * 450 kg = 150 kg (used for sugar muffins)

1/5 * 450 kg = 90 kg (used for cinnamon muffins)

Now, let's add these together to find the total amount of sugar used:

150 kg for sugar muffins + 90 kg for cinnamon muffins = 240 kg

If 240 kg of sugar was used, we can find how much remains by subtracting this from the total amount bought:

450 kg (total) - 240 kg (used) = 210 kg

Therefore, after using a third for sugar muffins and a fifth for cinnamon muffins, 210 kg of sugar remains.
