What is the Trial and Error Method?

To solve a problem by using a trial and error method, we assume a possible value and check if it makes an equation true.

Let x represent the unknown number of pies that were sold, and y represent the price which is between 3 and 4 dollars.

x = ?

y = 3.35 (this is between 3.99 and 3.01)

We have 43.55/y = x. Therefore,

43.55/3.35 = 13

Number of pies sold were: 13.
