Question

The Marching Band ordered 14 pizzas for a party. Each pizza had 6 slices. Juan ate 7 of the slices. How many slices were left for the rest of the band?

Answer 1

77 slices

Explanation:

Given

`Pizza=14`

`Slice = 6` per pizza

`Juan = 7\ slices`

Required

Determine the slices left

First, calculate the slices in 14 pizzas.

`Total = 14 * 6`

`Total = 84`

Subtract the amount eaten by Juan, to get the remaining.

`Remaining = Total - Juan`

`Remaining = 84 - 7`

`Remaining = 77`
