To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Determine the number of pizzas Liam has.
Liam has 3 pizzas with toppings and twice as many plain pizzas. So, to find the total number of pizzas, we add the number of pizzas with toppings to the number of plain pizzas: 3 + 2 = 5.
Step 2: Calculate the number of slices per pizza.
Each pizza has 8 slices. Since Liam has 5 pizzas, we multiply the number of slices per pizza by the total number of pizzas: 8 x 5 = 40 slices.
Step 3: Calculate the number of slices with toppings.
Since Liam has 3 pizzas with toppings, we can multiply the number of slices per pizza by the number of pizzas with toppings: 8 x 3 = 24 slices with toppings.
Step 4: Calculate the number of plain slices.
To find the number of plain slices, we need to know the total number of slices first. Given that Liam has 40 slices in total and 24 slices with toppings, we subtract the slices with toppings from the total slices: 40 - 24 = 16 slices.
Therefore, Liam has 16 more plain slices than slices with toppings.
