180 - (1/3 X 180)=120 number of people who ordered pie.
120 X 1/4=30 people who ordered apple pie
So, the answer is "B".
Kallamoar: You started OK, but then went astray! How come?
1/3 of the people ordered ICE CREAM, so 1/3 of 180 is 60. But 180 - 60=120 people who ordered Pie.
1/4 X 120=30 people who ordered Apple Pie!!.
