Answer 1

Kyles is required to sell 40 pizzas for a fundraiser he sold 1/4 of them to relatives and then his neighbor bought 1/2 of the remaining pizzas how many pizzas did the neighbor buy

Step 1

total of pizzas= 40 pizzas

she sold 1/4 of then

so, we need to know how many pizzas are 1/4 of 40, to do this just multiply 1/4 By 40

`\begin{gathered} \text{total of pizzas=40 } \\ (1)/(4)\text{ of the total pizzas = }(1)/(4)\cdot40\text{ pizzas} \\ (1)/(4)\text{ of the total pizzas =10 pizzas,} \\ so,\text{ first she sold 10 pizzas} \end{gathered}`

then, his neighbor brought 1/2 of the remaining pizzas,

the remaining pizzas = total pizzas - the pizzas she sold first

the remaining pizzas=40-10

the remaining pizzas=30 pizzas

so, his neighbor brought 1/2 of 30, to know this values jus multiply 1/2 by 30
