To determine how many pies the bakery sells in one week, we can follow these steps:
1. Identify Given Information:
- The bakery sells 10 apple pies in one hour.
- These 10 apple pies represent 5% of the total pies sold in one week.
2. Convert Percentage to Decimal:
- 5% is equivalent to 0.05 in decimal form.
3. Set Up the Proportion:
- If 10 apple pies represent 5% of the total pies sold in a week, we can represent this situation with a proportion. Let [tex]\( T \)[/tex] be the total number of pies sold in one week.
- According to the problem, [tex]\( 0.05T = 10 \)[/tex].
4. Solve for [tex]\( T \)[/tex]:
- To find [tex]\( T \)[/tex], divide both sides of the equation by 0.05:
[tex]\[
T = \frac{10}{0.05}
\][/tex]
5. Perform the Calculation:
- When you divide 10 by 0.05, you get:
[tex]\[
T = 200
\][/tex]
Therefore, the bakery sells 200 pies in one week.
