Question

A bakery produces 3,000 loaves of bread. The bread is delivered to 75 stores. Of the 75 stores, 67 receive 2,000 loaves of bread altogether. The remaining stores receive an equal number of loaves of bread. How many loaves does each of the remaining stores receive?

Answer 1

Given in the scenario:

a.) A bakery produces 3,000 loaves of bread.

b.) The bread is delivered to 75 stores.

c.) Of the 75 stores, 67 receive 2,000 loaves of bread altogether.

Condition: The remaining stores receive an equal number of loaves of bread.

Step 1: Let's determine how many loaves of bread and the number of stores are remaining.

Remaining loaves of bread = 3000 - 2000 = 1000 loaves

Remaining number of stores = 75 - 67 = 8 Stores

Step 2: Let's divide the 1000 loaves of bread by 8 since the remaining stores must receive equal loaves of bread.

We get,

`No\text{. of Loaves for each remaining stores }=\text{ }\frac{1000\text{ loaves}}{8}`
`=\text{ 125 loaves}`

Therefore, each remaining stores must receive 125 loaves of bread.
