Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
A certain cup holds 100 grams of butter. If a cake requires 75 grams of butter and a pie requires 225 grams of butter, then 4 cups of butter is not enough for any of the following except
Total butter = 4 × 100 = 400 grams
No cakes can be prepared from 400 gm butter = = 5.3
No of pies can be prepared from 400 gm butter = = 1.7
Option A and B are not correct
Option C : 3 cakes + 1 Pie = 3 × 75 + 1 × 1 = 225 + 225 = 450gm of Butter -- Not correct.
Option D: 2 cakes and 2 pies --- 2 pies are not possible
Option E: 2 cakes and 1 pie = 2 × 75 + 1 × 225 = 150 + 225 = 375 -- Possible
