Each pizza has 729 slices.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's use the variable "s" to represent the number of slices in each pizza.

The drama club bought 999 large pizzas, and each pizza had s slices. So, the total number of pizza slices is given by the product of 999 and s, which can be written as:

999s = 727272

To solve for s, we can divide both sides of the equation by 999:

s = 727272/999

Using a calculator, we can simplify this fraction to:

s ≈ 728.73

Therefore, each pizza has approximately 728 slices. Note that this is an unusual number of slices for a pizza, so it's possible that the problem is not intended to be taken literally, but rather as a math puzzle or word problem.
