Question

At a party to celebrate a successful school play, the drama club bought 999 large pizzas. Each pizza had sss slices. All together, there were 727272 slices of pizza for the club to share.

Write an equation to describe this situation.
How many slices does each pizza have?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's use "n" to represent the number of slices in each pizza. Then the equation to describe the situation is:

999n = 727272

To solve for "n", we divide both sides by 999:

n = 727272/999

Using a calculator or long division, we get:

n ≈ 728.56

Therefore, each pizza has approximately 728 slices.
