$18$ pieces

If each of $3$ pies is cut into $8$ pieces,
you would have $3xx8=24$ pieces of pie

If $3/4$ of the pieces were sold,
you would have sold $3/4xx24=3xx6=18$ pieces of pie

A restaurant had 33 pies, cut into eighths. By noon, 3/43/4 of all the pieces were sold. How many pieces of pie were sold by noon?
