1. Convert the weight of flour in the second bag from ounces to pounds. Since $$16$$ ounces equals $$1$$ pound:
   $$
   \frac{96 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces per pound}} = 6 \text{ pounds}
   $$
2. Calculate the total amount of flour by adding the weights of both bags:
   $$
   8 \text{ pounds} + 6 \text{ pounds} = 14 \text{ pounds}
   $$
3. Subtract the $$3$$ pounds of flour used for cupcakes:
   $$
   14 \text{ pounds} - 3 \text{ pounds} = 11 \text{ pounds}
   $$

The baker has $$11$$ pounds of flour left.
The baker has 11 pounds of flour left.
