in the storage room of a certain bakery , the ratio of sugar to flour is 5 to 6 , 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 : 6 = 25 : 30 ; flour : soda = 10 : 1 = 30 : 3 ; thus we have that sugar : flour : soda = 25 x : 30 x : 3 x . also given that 30 x / ( 3 x + 60 ) = 8 / 1 - - > x = 80 - - > sugar = 25 x = 2,000 . answer : e ."
multiply(divide(5, 6), multiply(10, divide(multiply(8, 60), subtract(10, 8))))
