Answer:

(a) 306 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sugar to the total is ...

sugar : (sugar + butter) = (2 1/4) : (2 1/4 + 3/8)

= (18/8) : (18/8 +3/8) = 18 : 21 = 6 : 7

Then the amount of sugar in the baker's initial is ...

(6/7) × 357 = 306 . . . . pounds

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you realize that 2 1/4 is much more than 3/8, then you realize most of the mix is sugar. Of the answer choices, the only one that is most of 357 pounds is the first one: 306 pounds. That is the correct choice. In other words, your sense of the quantities involved is sufficient to answer the question, without any math.
