Question

The Cooking Club made some pies to sell at a basketball game to raise money for the new math books. The cafeteria contributed two pies to the sale. Each pie was then cut into six pieces and sold. There were a total of 60 pieces to sell. How many pies did the club make?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

To get to 8 you need to first find the total pieces. In this case it is 60 and since each pie has 6 pieces, you need to divide 60 by 6. 60 divided by 6 = 10. The last step is to subtract the 2 pies that the cafeteria gave because the question is asking how many pies did the CLUB make. The final answer would be 8.
