Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

On a question like this the “12” is the multiplier coefficient, so you would multiply the number of people a single pie serves by the total number of pies.

That means that the expression that best represents this is 12p

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Hello, Lillie

The answer is 12p... But I don't get what you are trying to say with "at least 20 words"
