Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Sam bought 86 pounds of flour for his bakery. Every day he used the same amount of flour to make bakery items. after 10 days, Sam was left with 25.2 pounds of flour.

From the above statement we know that Sam left with 25.2 pounds of flour after 10 days.

Find the pound of flour he used in 10 days by subtracting 86 and 25.2

86-25.2=60.8

That means Sam used 60.8 pounds of flour in 10 days.

Now find how much he use in 1 day by dividing the number 60.8 with 10.

Hence, Sam use 6.08 pounds of flour each day.
