Question

The Dessert Club made some pies to sell at a basketball game to raise money for the school field day. The cafeteria contributed four pies to the sale. Each pie was then cut into five pieces and sold. There were a total of 60 pieces to sell. How many pies did the club make?

Answer 1

The 4 from the cafeteria would have been 20 slices. 20/4 =5. There were 60 to sell. 60-20=40 slices. 40/5=8 pies. The club made 8 pies. The cafeteria made 4.
