Boxes #1, #2, #4, and #5 together contain 82 Pies. Therefore, Box #3 must contain 18 Pies. With that piece of information, you can figure out how many kebab pies the other bags contain:You know Box #2 and Box #3 = 43 Pies; you know Box #3 = 18 Pies; therefore, Box #2 contains 25 Pies.
You know that Box #1 and Box #2 = 52 Pies; therefore, Box #1 contains 27.
You know Box #3 and Box #4 = 34 Pies; you know Box #3 = 18 Pies; therefore, Box #4 contains 16 Pies.
You know that Box # 4 and Box #5 = 30 Pies; you know that Box #4 contains 16 Pies; therefore, Box #5 contains 14 Pies.
