Answer:b = 144
a = 4/5s
s = a + 24
s = 4/5s + 24
5/5s - 4/5s = 24
1/5s = 24
s = 24 * 5
s = 120
a = 4/5s
a = 4/5(120)
a = 480/5
a = 96
blueberry pies = 144
total of all pies = 144 + 120 + 96 = 360
percent of blueberry pies is : 144/360 = 0.40 = 40% <==

This is right</h2>
B = 144
a = 4/5s
s = a + 24
s = 4/5s + 24
5/5s - 4/5s = 24
1/5s = 24
s = 24 * 5
s = 120
a = 4/5s
a = 4/5(120)
a = 480/5
a = 96
blueberry pies = 144
total of all pies = 144 + 120 + 96 = 360
percent of blueberry pies is : 144/360 = 0.40 = 40% <==
