Question

the cooking club made some pies to sell at a basketball game to raise money for the new math books. The cafeteria contributed three pies to sale. Each pie was then cut into five pieces sold. There were a total of 40 pieces to sell. How many pies did the club make?

Answer 1

The club made 5 pies

Explanation:

Total pieces=40

40/5 (cuz each pie was cut in 5 pieces)

40/5=8 (Total of pies sell)

But they say the cafeteria contributed with 3 pies so:

8-3= 5
