Please respond with a number to the question: I have a pie. If I give two pieces to Joe, one piece to Mary, and another piece to Joe, how many pieces of pie does Joe have?

2 + 1 =

Well, if we do the math, Joe would have two pieces of pie. But Joe might be feeling generous and willing to share. In that case, he might have eaten a piece or two already. So the final answer might depend on Joe's appetite and his level of self-control.

Joe would have three pieces of pie.

To determine the number of pieces of pie Joe has, we can follow the given information. Joe initially receives 2 pieces, then another piece is given to Mary, and finally, Joe receives one more piece.

Therefore, the total number of pieces Joe has is 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 pieces.
