Sam cut a pie into equal slices. There are only 3 slices left. The angle measure of the 3 slices is 72 degrees. How many slices did Sam cut the pie into?

72/3 would give you the degree measurement of each slice. take the whole pie (360°) and divide it by the measurement of each piece, and it will tell you how many pieces he cut it in to

Sam cut the pie into 15 equal slices. Each slice has an angle measure of 24 degrees, and together, the remaining 3 slices measure 72 degrees. By dividing the total pie angle (360 degrees) by the angle of one slice (24 degrees), we find the total number of slices.
