Answer»

Let the club make n pies

Cafeteria contributed 4 pies then total number of pies = n + 4

Each pie cut into 5 pieces, then total number of pie pieces = (n + 4)*5

Given total number of pie pieces to sell = 60

Thus, (n + 4)*5 = 60n + 4 = 60/5 n + 4 = 12n = 12 - 4 = 8

Therefore total number of pies club make is 8
