Answer:
It takes 10 people to break the pinata.
Step-by-step explanation:
If it takes 29 hits to break a pinata, and 9 people hit it, that means that the pinata has been hit 27 times, and is not quite broken yet. So 9 people hit the pinata 3 times and 1 person hits the pinata twice. So a total of 10 people hit the pinata, in order to break it.
