Answer:

The number of pies does the baker have left is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A baker made 20 pies. A Boy Scout troop buys one–fourth of his pies, a preschool teacher buys one–third of his pies, and a caterer buys one–sixth of his pies.

To find : How many pies does the baker have left?

Solution :

Let x be the number of pies does the baker have left.

According to question,

Number of pies buys,

One-fourth =\frac{1}{4}

One-third =\frac{1}{3}

One-sixth =\frac{1}{6}

i.e. x=20-(20\times \frac{1}{4}+20\times \frac{1}{3}+20\times \frac{1}{6})

x=20-(5+20\times \frac{1}{3}+10\times \frac{1}{3})

x=20-(5+\frac{20+10}{3})

x=20-(5+ \frac{30}{3})

x=20-(5+10)

x=20-(15)

x=5

The number of pies does the baker have left is 15.

What is the percent decrease from 60 to 39?
IrinaK [193]
X - the percent decrease

60-60x=39 \ \ \ |-60 \\
-60x=-21 \ \ \ |\div (-60) \\
x=\frac{-21}{-60} \\ \Downarrow \\ x=\frac{-21}{-60}=\frac{-21 \div (-3)}{-60 \div (-3)}=\frac{7}{20}=\frac{7 \times 5}{20 \times 5}=\frac{35}{100}=35\%

It's a 35% decrease.

Divide 4 by 5. You will get 0.8 . So, your answer will be 1.8 because you already have a whole number, you will add the decimal to the whole number and you would get 1.8 .
