Answer:

He purchased 3 baked bries for the party.

Explanation:

Let Abdoulaye buy x number of baked bries for the party.

Now. Abdoulaye invited 27 people to his new year's party all of his guests ate
(1)/(4) of baked brie.

Therefore, he has
(x - (x)/(4)) = (3x)/(4) number of baked bries after party.

Given that,
(3x)/(4) = (9)/(4)

⇒ x = 3.

Hence, he purchased 3 baked bries for the party. (Answer)
