Answer 1

Answer:

500 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no of pies baked be x

Amount of pies sold in morning =

$(2 \5 ) x$

~ Pies remaining =

$x - (2x \5)$

$= (3x \5)$

Case 2-

Amount of pies sold from 3x\5 remaining pies =

$(1 \6)(3x \5)$

$= x \10$

~ Pies remaining=

$(3x \5) - (x \10)$

$= (x \2)$

Case 3-

Given

Remaining pies = 250

$= (x \2) = 250$

Therefore, x= 500
