To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to find the initial amount of butter the baker bought. Let's assume that the baker bought x grams of butter at first.
According to the problem, the baker used 360 grams of butter to make the pastry, which is 5/6 of the total amount of butter he had.
We can set up the equation:
360 = (5/6)x
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 6/5 to isolate x:
(6/5) * 360 = (6/5) * (5/6) * x
432 = x
Therefore, the baker initially bought 432 grams of butter.
