To find out how many pizzas the shop sold, we need to add up the fractions of each type of pizza sold:

3/8 (cheese pizza) + 3/8 (pepperoni pizza) + 2/5 (specialized pizza)

First, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple of 8 and 5 is 40, so we'll rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 40:

3/8 = 15/40
3/8 = 15/40
2/5 = 16/40

Now we can add the fractions together:

15/40 + 15/40 + 16/40 = 46/40

To simplify the fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:

46 ÷ 2 = 23
40 ÷ 2 = 20

So, the shop sold a total of 23 pizzas.
