    170 muffins

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We start from the ratio between baker B and C

    The ratio of cakes baked by both is 4:3.

    We know baker C baker 150 muffins:

    This mathematically means:

    B:C = 4:3 = B:150

    This means 4/3 = B/150

    B = (4 * 150) / 3 = 200

    Baker B baked 200 cakes

    We now move back to the first statement

    The ratio between baker A and B is 8:5

    Mathematically, this means:

    A:B = 8:5 = A:200

    8/5 = A/200

    A = (8 * 200) / 5 = 320

    The number of cakes baker A baker pass baker C would be 320 - 150 = 170 muffins
