in the storage room of a certain bakery , the ratio of sugar to flour is 5 to 2 , and the ratio of flour to baking soda is 10 to 1 . if there were 60 more pounds of baking soda in the room , the ratio of flour to baking soda would be 8 to 1 . how many pounds of sugar are stored in the room ?
"sugar : flour = 5 : 2 = 25 : 10 ; flour : soda = 10 : 1 = 10 : 1 ; thus we have that sugar : flour : soda = 25 x : 10 x : 1 x . also given that 10 x / ( 1 x + 60 ) = 8 / 1 - - > x = 240 - - > sugar = 25 x = 6000 answer : e ."
multiply(divide(5, 2), multiply(10, divide(multiply(8, 60), subtract(10, 8))))
