You can put this solution on YOUR website!
But every time he has a slice of pie he has 3 scoops of ice cream not just once.
x*(200+3*180)
so every slice of pie gets the 200 calories from the pie plus the 3*180 from the ice cream
so you can combine the numbers some more
180+180+180+200
360+380=740
740x is the final simplified version.
