The number of pies did the club make is 9 pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total pieces = 72 pieces
  • one pie = 6 pieces

Step 1 :

Pies given by cafeteria = 3 pies

∴ Number of pieces helped= 36 = 18 pieces

Step 2 :

Remaining pieces = Total pieces - helped pieces

⇒ 72-18 = 54 pieces

The number of pies made by club = Remaining pieces / pieces from one pie

⇒ 54/6

⇒ 9 pies
