Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of cakes baked by Calvin and Susie = 3 : 7

Cakes baked by Calvin = 3x

Cakes baked by Susie = 7x

Cakes baked by Calvin = Cakes baked by Susie - 60

3x = 7x - 60

7x - 60 = 3x

7x        = 3x  + 60

7x - 3x = 60

      4x  = 60

        x = 60/4

x = 15

Cakes baked by Calvin = 3*15 = 45

Cakes baked by Susie = 7 *15 = 105

Total cakes baked = 45 + 105 = 150

They both baked 150 cakes altogether.
