Mr Lee baked 185 more chicken pies than tuna pines.After selling 3/5 of the chicken pies and half of the tuna pies,he had 146 pies left.How

Call the number of tuna pies "x."

Then the number of chicken pies = x + 185

If he sold .6 of the chicken pies, then he had .4 of those left, and if he sold 1/2 = (.5) of the tuna pies he must have had .5 of those left.

So......

.4(x + 185) + .5(x) = 146

.9x + 74 = 146

.9x = 72

x = 72/.9  = 80   and that's the number of tuna pies he started with

So, he sold 1/2 of these = 40

And the number of chicken pies he sold is given by:

.6(80 + 185)  = 159

So the total pies sold =   40 + 159   = 199
