Answer:
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)There are 15 pieces of cakes left
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total cakes=x
Let number of cakes eaten by Mindy=m
Let number of cakes eaten by Troy=t
Now:
m=3
Since m+t=9
3+t=9
t=9-3=6
The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)
Since Troy had of the total cake
x=6X4=24
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)=24-9=15 cakes
