Answer:

50 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

Chicken : Turkey

= 4:1

Sum Proportions = 4 + 1 = 5

We have to find the weight in grams of the entire pie

Let us represent the weight in grams of the entire pie = x.

The pie contains 200g of Chicken.

Hence:

4/5 × x = 200g

4x/5 = 200g

Cross Multiply

4x = 200g × 5

x = 200g × 5/4

x = 250g

The amount turkey that is in the pie is calculated as:

Total weight of pie - Amount of Chicken in the pie

= 250g - 200g

= 50 g
