    The formal formula for calculating the number given a percentage is:

    n = (t/100) * p, where

    t is the total number of pies and p is the percentage of the total.

    Therefore,

    n = 1550/100 * 30 = 465

    A short cut is to express the percentage as a fraction: 30% = 0.3, and simply multiply the total by this fraction:

    1550 * 0.3 = 465
