The baker needs to use 100/3 pounds of 90% chocolate to make the cake.

Equation

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of 90% chocolate. Using equation:

100 * 70% + x * 90% = (x + 100) * 75%

100 * 0.7 + 0.9 * x = (x + 100) * 0.75

70 + 0.9x = 0.75x + 75

x = 100/3

The baker needs to use 100/3 pounds of 90% chocolate to make the cake.
