Baker Yeo sold 120 buns in the morning and 40% of the remaining buns in the afternoon. The number of buns left was 1/3 of the number of buns he had baked. How many buns did he sell in the afternoon?

We can write an equation to solve the problem. Let's let x be the total number of buns he made. 

Using the problem, we have the equation

60100(x120)=1/3x

 

Solving this equation for x, we find that

x=270

 

This means in the afternoon, he sold 60100(150)=90

 

Thus, he sold 90 buns. 

So 90 is our answer. 

 

Thanks! :)
