Question

Trish made a few pans of brownies to sell. Rachel also contributed 5 pans. Each pan of brownies was cut into 12 squares. If there were a total of 84 brownie squares, how many pans of brownies did Trish make ?

Answer 1

Rachel: Five pans of 12 pieces each... (5x12=60)
So 84 total brownies minus the 60 Rachel made. (84 - 60 = 24) There are 24 brownies remaining.
Trish: (24 brownies divided by 12 pieces each = 2 pans of brownies).

Trish made 2 pans of brownies.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Trish made 2 pans of brownies. 84 divided by 12 = 7

7-5=2
