Melissa and Angie baked 15

pies for the bake sale on Pi

Day and were surprised

when they sold every piece

for $2.00 each. If their

ingredients were $15.24 for

all the pies and each pie

was cut into 8 slices, how

much profit did the girls

make in the bake sale?

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of pies that Melissa and Angie baked is 15.

Each pie was cut into 8 slices. This means that the total number of slices that the pies was cut into was

8 * 15 = 120

They they sold every piece

for $2.00 each. This means that the total amount that they made from selling 120 pieces is

2 * 120 = $240

If the ingredients were $15.24 for

all the pies, it means that the profit that the girls made in the bake sale is

240 - 15.24 = $224.76

15 pies (8 slices) = 120 slices

120 slices ($2.00) = $240.00

$240.00 profit - ($15.24 expenses) = $224.76

The girls made $224.76 in profit.
