Question

what does each number mean in this context? a negative number means the bakery sold cookies. a positive number means the bakery cookies.

Explanation:

In the context of inventory change, negative numbers typically represent a decrease (such as selling items), and positive numbers represent an increase (such as receiving or making items). Since the negative number means the bakery sold cookies, by logical opposite, a positive number would mean the bakery made (or received, but in a bakery context, "made" is more likely as they produce goods) cookies.

Answer:

made
