The baker made 2720 pretzels on Saturday.
Let's denote the number of pretzels made on Saturday as S.
The baker made 1775 peanut butter pretzels and 945 Cajun pretzels on Saturday, so the total number of pretzels made on Saturday is the sum of these two:
S=1775+945
Now, to find the number of pretzels made on Sunday, we know that it is 915 fewer than Saturday, so:
Sunday=S−915
Substitute the expression for
S from the first equation into the second:
Sunday=(1775+945)−915
Now, calculate the values:
Sunday=2720−915
Sunday=1805
So, the baker made 1805 pretzels on Sunday.
To find the total number of pretzels made on Saturday, add the number of peanut butter pretzels and Cajun pretzels:
S=1775+945=2720
Therefore, the baker made 2720 pretzels on Saturday.
