Baker's friend bought 137 cakes from him. If he had made 169 cakes initially how many cakes would baker still have?
. 

First, we'll figure out how many cakes the baker sold in total. We know that the baker's friend bought 137 cakes, so the baker sold 137 cakes in total. 

Next, we'll figure out how many cakes the baker had left after the sale. We know that the baker had 169 cakes initially, and that he sold 137 cakes. So, the baker would have 169 - 137 = 32 cakes left after the sale.
