Hi, I was wondering about this one. Its multi step

Jayla has 2 pies. she wants to split the pies with her friend. She has 23 friends. But, 12 of them don't like pie so they aren't having any. Jayla wants a slice of pie too though! How many people are having pie? How many are not?

BONUS: What are you feeding the glutten free friends?

Answer:

12 are having pie, 12 are not having pie.

Explanation:

We can find out how many of Jayla's friends want a slice of pie by taking the total amount of her friends (23) and subtracting the amount who do not want pie. The equation is:

23 - 12 = 11

Because Jayla wants a slice too, we will add 1 to the 11 friends who want a slice. The equation is:

11 + 1 = 12

So 12 people are having pie, while 12 are not.

BONUS: The gluten free friends may have pie too because I remembered them and I baked the crust so that it is gluten free.

Hope this helps friend.
