Question

A pie shop sold 1,550 pies in a month . If 30% of the pies the shop sold were banana cream pies ,how many banana cream pies did the shop sell in the month

Answer 1

Answer:

465

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pies = 1550

Banana pies = 30% of total pies

                     = 30% of 1550

                     = 30/100 * 1550

                     = 3 * 155

                     = 465

465 banana pies were sold in the month.
