A bakery sells two types of dessert pie and cake the bakery sells approximently 10 pies for every 12 cakes The store sold 552 cakes last month write and solve a proportion to determine how many pies they sold

460

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pies sold be represented by x.

Since we are informed that the bakery sells approximently 10 pies for every 12 cakes and that the store sold 552 cakes last month. The number of ours sold will be:

10/12 = x/552

Cross multiply.

12 × x = 10 × 552

12x = 5520

x = 5520/12

x = 460

The number of pies sold is 460
