George baked a total of 50 pizzas for 5 straight days, beginning on Saturday. He baked 3/5 of the pizzas the first day, and 3/5 of the remaining pizzas the second day. If each successive day he baked fewer pizzas than the previous day, what is the maximum number of pizzas he could have baked on Wednesday? Pick:  A) 5  B) 4  C) 3  D) 2  E) 1

Rationale: 3 / 5 of the 50 pizzas cooked on saturday = 30 pizzas 3 / 5 of the remaining pizzas on sunday = 12 pizzas we ' re left with ( 50 - 30 - 12 ) = 8 pizzas for the remaining 3 days . the prompt tells us that each day has fewer pizzas than the day before it , so we ca n ' t have duplicate numbers . m t w 5 2 1 = 8 w = 1 e
Answer: E
