A Troy High School senior has a goal of getting accepted at 10 colleges. Her counselor explained that with the excellent grade she received in AP chemistry she would probably be accepted to one school out of every three to which she applied. She immediately realized that for each application she would have to write 3 essays, and each essay would require 2 hours work. Of course writing essays is no simple matter. For each hour of serious essay writing, she would need to expend 500 calories that she could gain from eating her mother's apple pies. Each apple pie contains 1000 calories. How many pies would she have to eat in order to gain acceptance to 10 colleges?
