Answer:

220 pancakes could feed 80 people.

Explanation:

Since the Cheer Team is cooking for a fundraiser breakfast, and they know that 22 pancakes can feed 8 people, to determine the number of people that can be fed 220 pancakes it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

22 = 8

220 = X

(220 x 8) / 22 = X

1760/22 = X

80 = X

Therefore, 220 pancakes could feed 80 people.
