Question

Pamela is making pizzas. She has 112 pieces of pepperoni. She uses 29 pieces of pepperoni on the first pizza. If she uses the same amount on each pizza, does she have enough pepperoni to make 4 more pizzas?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Number of pieces of pepperoni available with Pamela = 112

Number of pieces of pepperoni used in one pizza = 29

Now, number of pepperoni left after using 29 in one pizza = 112 - 29 = 83

Now, Pamela makes second pizza, so again 29 pieces of pepperoni area used.

Now, number of pepperoni left after using 29 in one pizza = 83 - 29 = 54

Now, Pamela makes third pizza, so again 29 pieces of pepperoni area used.

Now, number of pepperoni left after using 29 in one pizza = 54 - 29 = 25

To make the third pizza, another 29 pepperoni are required but only 25 are available.

Therefore, there is not enough pepperoni for making 4 more pizza.
