Question 1099549
Mrs Baker bought some flour.
 She used 1/4 of it to bake 6 cherry pies and packed the rest equally into 9 bags.
 There were 250g more flour in 2 similar bags than what ws used for a cherry pie.
 If all the flour was packed into 25 bags instead, how much flour would be in each bag.
:
let x = original amt of flour in grams
then
{{{1/4}}}x used to make 6 pies
then
{{{1/4}}}x * {{{1/6}}} = {{{1/24}}}x to make 1 pie
:
"the rest equally into 9 bags."
{{{3/4}}}x * {{{1/9}}} = {{{3/36}}}x = {{{1/12}}}x in each bag
:

:
"There were 250g more flour in 2 similar bags than what was used for a cherry pie."
 2({{{1/12}}}x) - {{{1/24}}}x = 250
 {{{2/12}}}x - {{{1/24}}}x = 250
 {{{4/24}}}x - {{{1/24}}}x = 250
 {{{3/24}}}x = 250
 {{{1/8}}}x = 250
x = 250 * 8
x = 2000 grams of flour originally
:
If all the flour was packed into 25 bags instead, how much flour would be in each bag."
{{{2000/25}}} = 80 grams in each bag

A lot of chances to make a math mistake here. Check my math carefully. Ck
