this would bedivide equally. because 3/4 is 75 percent. Then I took that 25% and divide it by 2 and, came out with around 12% I add this to Girl B slice which made 37% then I add the rest of that 12% which made 49% then I subtracted this by 75% which equals 26%. Im sure there is a faster way to find this but, in my class I have to show stupid amount of my work.......
Three friends, A, B and C had 3/4 of a pizza left from last night's party and decided to share it for lunch.

A took a piece for herself

B took a piece which was twice as large as A's

The piece left for C was 3/4 as large as A's share
What fraction of the whole pizza did each piece represent?

-
A + B + C = 3/4
B = 2A
C = 3A/4

A + 2A + 3A/4 = 3/4
15A/4 = 3/4
15A = 3

A = 3/15 = 1/5
B = 2/5
C = 3/20

I got 26%. say each girl got 25 percent. this would be divide equally. because 3/4 is 75 percent. Then I took that 25% and divide it by 2 and, came out with around 12% I add this to Girl B slice which made 37% then I add the rest of that 12% which made 49% then I subtracted this by 75% which equals 26%. I'm sure there is a faster way to find this but, in my class I have to show stupid amount of my work.
