Answer 1

Meatballs in the bakery = 115
Cream pies in the bakery = ?
= (meatballs × 3) + 10
= (115 × 3) + 10
= 345+ 10
= 355
so, cream pies in the bakery = 355

Answer 2

Let the number of cream pies be X

ATP

∴nos of meat balls= 3 ×cream pies  + 10

                      ∴  115 =3  ×  X  +10

                      ∴   115-10=3X

                      ∴  105  =3X  

                      ∴   105/3 =X

                       ∴   35=X

nos of cream pies are in the bakery = 35  ANS
