Question

One third of the people at a banquet ordered ice cream for desert. The rest ordered pie. One fourth of those requesting pie ordered apple pie. Of 180 people attended the banquet, how many ordered apple pie?

Answer 1

30 people ordered the apply pie

Explanation:

Given

Total number of people = 180

It is given that one -third of the people order the ice cream

So the people who order ice cream are:

`= (1)/(3) * 180\\= 60`

60 people order ice cream and rest who ordered pie are:

= 180-60 = 120

Now it is given that one-fourth of the people who ordered pie ordered apple pie

So,

`= (1)/(4) * 120\\= 30`

Hence,

30 people ordered the apply pie
