Baker sold 8 cakes. If he had made 40 cakes initially how many more cakes did baker make than those he sold?
First, we need to find the total number of cakes that Baker made. 40 cakes is the same as 40/1 cakes, so we can say that Baker made 40/1 cakes. 

Next, we need to find the total number of cakes that Baker sold. 8 cakes is the same as 8/1 cakes, so we can say that Baker sold 8/1 cakes. 

Now, we need to find the difference between the total number of cakes that Baker made and the total number of cakes that Baker sold. The total number of cakes that Baker made is 40/1 cakes and the total number of cakes that Baker sold is 8/1 cakes, so the difference is 32/1 cakes. 

We can simplify 32/1 cakes to just 32 cakes, so we can say that Baker made 32 more cakes than those he sold.

Therefore the answer (numeric) is: 

32
