Answer 1

8 pies

Explanation:

Each Pie was cut into 5 pieces.

There were a total of 60 pieces to sell.

First we determine the number of pies that was cut into 60 pieces.

Number of Pies Cut = 60 ÷ 5 =12

Since the cafeteria contributed 4 pies to the sale, the rest were made by the club.

Number of Pies Made by the Club = 12-4 =8 pies

The cooking club made 8 pies.
