Question

1) The Cooking Club made some pies to sell

during lunch to raise money for a field
trip. The cafeteria helped by donating
three pies to the club. Each pie was then
cut into six pieces and sold. There were a
total of 72 pieces to sell. How many pies
did the club make?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

the cafeteria donated 3 pies....and if each pie is cut into 6 pieces....thats (6 * 3) = 18 pieces that the club DIDN'T make

so the club made (72 - 18) = 54 pieces....and if each pie is 6 pieces....

then they made 54/6 = 9 pies <===
