Mindy and troy combined 9 pieces of the wedding cake.

Mindy ate = 3 pieces of cake
Troy = had ¼ of the total cake.
Now, let’s find an equation that will give us the total number of pieces of the cake
=> Let X = Mindy
=> let Y = Troy
=> Let c = total number of cake
=> X + Y = 9, where x = 9 and y = ¼
Let’s find the number of pieces of cake that Troy’s have:
=> Y = 9 – x
=> Y = 9 – 3 = 6
=> Y = 6
Now, let’s find the number of Cake
=> 6 = c/4
=> c = 4 x 6
=> c = 24
Thus, there are 24 cakes in all.

That's much Ado About Nothing.

Mindy --- 3
Troy (1/4)c, where c is the total number of pieces

(1/4)c + 3 = 9
(1/4)c = 6
c = 24

To find out how many pieces of cake Troy ate, we need to determine what fraction of the total cake his portion represents.

Mindy ate 3 pieces of cake out of the total, so we subtract her portion from the total:

Total pieces of cake - Mindy's portion = Troy's portion

9 pieces of cake - 3 pieces of cake = 6 pieces of cake

Troy's portion represents 6 pieces of cake.

Now, we know that Troy's portion is 0.25 (or 1/4) of the total cake. Let's set up an equation to find the total:

Troy's portion = Total pieces of cake * Fraction of the total cake

6 pieces of cake = Total pieces of cake * 0.25

Now we can solve for the total number of pieces of cake:

Total pieces of cake = 6 pieces of cake / 0.25 = 24 pieces of cake

Therefore, Mindy and Troy combined ate 9 pieces of the wedding cake, with Mindy eating 3 pieces and Troy eating 6 pieces.

To find out how many pieces Troy had, we first need to consider that Troy had 0.25 of the total cake. Since Mindy and Troy combined ate 9 pieces, we can now set up an equation to solve for the number of pieces Troy had.

Let's say T represents the number of pieces Troy had.

The equation would be:
T + 3 = 9

To isolate T, we can subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
T = 9 - 3
T = 6

Therefore, Troy had 6 pieces of cake.
