One apple pie has 10 slices, and each apple pie feeds five people. Henry is having a party with 200 people. How many slices of pie does he need?
- A. 200
- B. 50
- C. 400
- D. 100
Explanation
Feeding 200 people at five people per pie needs 40 pies, and at 10 slices each that is 400 slices. Equivalently, each person eats two slices, so 200 people need 400. The distractor 200 comes from assuming one slice per person, which contradicts the figures given.
