Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The pinata can hold314 pieces of candy. . Sung has already filled the pinata with91 pieces of candy.

STEP 2

We need to find out how many more pieces of candy Sung needs to buy. We can do this by subtracting the number of candies already in the pinata from the total capacity of the pinata.
$Required\, candies = Total\, capacity - Already\, filled\, candies$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total capacity and the already filled candies to calculate the required candies.
$Required\, candies =314 -91$

STEP 4

Calculate the number of candies Sung needs to buy.
$Required\, candies =314 -91 =223$ ung needs to buy223 more pieces of candy to fill the pinata.
