Final answer:

To find the number of pies the cooking club made, set up and solve an equation using the given information.


Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to set up an equation based on the given information.

  1. Let x be the number of pies the cooking club made.
  2. The cafeteria contributed 2 pies, so the total number of pies = x + 2.
  3. Since each pie was cut into 8 pieces and there were 88 pieces in total, the equation becomes: 8(x + 2) = 88.
  4. Solving this equation, we find that the cooking club made 10 pies in total.
