To solve this problem, we can apply **Newton's Law of Cooling**. The formula for Newton's Law of Cooling is:

\[
T(t) = T_{\text{ambient}} + (T_0 - T_{\text{ambient}}) \cdot e^{-kt}
\]

where:
- \( T(t) \) is the temperature of the object at time \( t \),
- \( T_{\text{ambient}} \) is the ambient temperature,
- \( T_0 \) is the initial temperature of the object,
- \( k \) is the cooling constant,
- \( t \) is time in minutes.

### Given Data
- \( T_{\text{ambient}} = 25^\circ C \)
- \( T_0 = 200^\circ C \)
- \( T(5) = 150^\circ C \)
- We want to find the time \( t \) when \( T(t) = 100^\circ C \).

### Step 1: Find \( k \)
1. Use the information that at \( t = 5 \), \( T(5) = 150 \).
   
   Substitute into the formula:
   \[
   150 = 25 + (200 - 25) \cdot e^{-5k}
   \]
2. Simplify:
   \[
   150 - 25 = 175 \cdot e^{-5k}
   \]
   \[
   125 = 175 \cdot e^{-5k}
   \]
   \[
   e^{-5k} = \frac{125}{175} = \frac{5}{7}
   \]
3. Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
   \[
   -5k = \ln\left(\frac{5}{7}\right)
   \]
   \[
   k = -\frac{\ln\left(\frac{5}{7}\right)}{5}
   \]

### Step 2: Calculate the time for \( T(t) = 100 \)
1. Set \( T(t) = 100 \) and solve for \( t \):
   \[
   100 = 25 + (200 - 25) \cdot e^{-kt}
   \]
2. Simplify:
   \[
   100 - 25 = 175 \cdot e^{-kt}
   \]
   \[
   75 = 175 \cdot e^{-kt}
   \]
   \[
   e^{-kt} = \frac{75}{175} = \frac{3}{7}
   \]
3. Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
   \[
   -kt = \ln\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)
   \]
   \[
   t = -\frac{\ln\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)}{k}
   \]

Substituting the value of \( k \) calculated earlier will give the exact time \( t \) in minutes.

**Tip:** Newton’s Law of Cooling is an exponential decay model, so the cooling rate slows down as the temperature difference decreases.

A freshly baked pie is taken out of an oven at 200°C and placed on a kitchen counter, where the temperature is a constant 25°C. After 5 minutes, the temperature of the pie drops to 150°C. How long will the pie take to get cooled to 100°C to the nearest minute?
