A Bakery bakes 235 cakes every day. There are 15 people working in the shop. If everybody creates the same amount of cakes each, how many cakes does one person create?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

235 cakes made by 15 people equally means #235/15=15 2/3#

Everyone makes 15 cakes #=> #225 cakes and then 10 of the people would have to make another cake.

To find out how many cakes one person creates, you divide the total number of cakes baked by the number of people working in the bakery. In this case, you divide 235 cakes by 15 people. So, each person creates approximately 15.67 cakes.
