On the first day, a bakery used one third of their flour. On the second day, they used 75% of the remaining flour. On the third day, 120 kg of flour remained. How much flour did they have at the beginning?

Final Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


x/3+75/100·(x-x/3)+120=x

50x = 36000


x = 36000/50 = 720
