Question

Ms. Garrett had 40 guest at her birthday party she cut her cake into 88 slices Each guest had 2 pieces of cake how many slices were left

Answer 1

8 slices were left

Explanation:

1. If each guest had 2 pieces, then we can multiply the number of guests by 2 to figure out how many pieces were eaten total.

• 
  `40*2=80`

2. If only 80 slices had been eaten, then we can come to the conclusion that 8 slices were left by subtracting 80 from the total number of slices, 88.

• 
  `88-80=8`
