The student's equation \( 88-8=p \) reflects a misunderstanding of how to set up a division problem. To find the number of pans \( p \), you should actually divide the total number of muffins by the number of muffins per pan. The correct equation is \( 88 \div 8 = p \). To help illustrate this, if Nelson baked 88 muffins and each pan holds 8 muffins, you can calculate the number of pans by performing the division: 88 divided by 8 equals 11. Thus, \( p = 11 \) pans. To avoid similar mistakes in the future, always consider what operation corresponds to the relationship between the numbers you're working with!
