Question

The Cooking Club made some pies to sell during lunch to raise money for a field trip. The cafeteria helped by donating two pies to the club. Each pie was then cut into five pieces and sold. There were a total of 45 pieces to sell. How many pies did the club make?

Answer 1

Answer: 7 pies

Step-by-step explanation: Since the club split the pies into 5 pieces and then had a total of 45 slices, you would first divide 45 by 5 and you would get 9. The question stated that the cafeteria gave 2 pies and they are asking how much the club made. So you would subtract 9 by 2 to get 7. This concludes to that the club made 7 pies in total. Hope that helps!
