The cooking club made some pies to sell at a basketball game to raise money for the new books. The cafeteria contributed four pies to the sale. Each pie was then cut into into five pieces and sold. There were a total of 60 pieces to sell. How many pies did the club make?

Total Pieces Sold=60

Pieces contributed by the cafeteria=20

Pieces contributed by the clubs=x

We can solve this problem by creating an equation to relate these terms:

Total Pieces Sold= (pieces contributed by the cafeteria) + (pieces contributed by the clubs)

Our equation is therefore: 60=20+x. We solve for x:

60-20=x

40=x

This means the clubs contributed 40 pieces. To find out how many pies that equals, we can use the relationship:

(40 pieces)/(y pies) = (5 pieces)/(1 pie). Solve for y:

(1)(40)=(5)(x)

(40/5)=x

8=x

So The clubs contribute 8 pies.
