Answer: There are 60 potatoes in a bucket.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let 't' be the total amount of time, in minutes, taken by the worker to bake pies and peel a bucket of potatoes.

Let 'x' be the number of potatoes in a bucket.

So, total time taken by the worker on Monday can be expressed as:

t = (2*60) + 1.5x

The total time taken on Tuesday is:

t = (2.5*60) + 1x

Since the total time spent by the worker on these two activities on Monday and Tuesday are equal, we can equate the two equations and rewrite them as follows:

(2.5*60) + 1x = (2*60) + 1.5x

150 + 1x = 120 + 1.5x

150 - 120 = 1.5x - 1x

30 = 0.5x

30 = 0.5x

x = 60

Answer:

60 potatoes.

Explanation:

It is a simple mathematical question in which we find the value of x(potatoes) by equating two scenarios and then finding the value.

The calculations are as follows:

1st scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Monday = (2*60) + 1.5x

2nd scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Tuesday = (2.5*60) + 1x

Now writing these equations as below:

(2*60) + 1.5x = (2.5*60) + 1x

120 + 1.5x = 150 + 1x

1.5x - 1x = 150-120

0.5x=30

x=30/0.5

x=60.

c. a claim against a portion of the total assets of an enterprise.
