Question

Mrs. Ajmani bakes 20 pies for the Farmer’s Market. ¼ were cherry pies, 45% were blueberry and the rest were apple. How many of the pies were apple?

Answer 1

6 pies were apple

Explanation:

20 pies total

1/4 = cherry

20/4 = 5 = 5 pies were cherry

45% = blueberry

45% --> 45% x 20 = 9 = 9 pies were blueberry

20 - (9 + 5)

20 - (14)

6 pies were apple
