Question 850157: Alana is making fruit pies for a bake sale.
The recipe require 3/4 pounds of fruit per pie Alana brought 4 1/2 times the amount of fruit required by the recipe.
How many pounds of fruit did Alana buy?
When she finished preparing the pies Alana found that she had used 2/3 of the fruit she had brought. How many pounds of fruit did she have left? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4.5*(.75*p)=b
b/3=r remaining
p = pies made
b= fruit bought
r = left over fruit
Not enough info.
We don't know how many pies she made.
