Question

Sally has 99 cookies and only 74 guests. how many cookies can each guest have?

Answer 1

Each guest should only have 1 cookie, although there will be 25 extra cookies if each guest has 1.

Answer 2

Each guest can have 1 cookie.

To solve, you have to divide 99 cookies equally among the 74 guests. This can be done by counting how many groups of 74 can be made from 99. Only one group of cookies can be made from 99, so only one cookie can be given to each guest.
Because there are more than 75 cookies, there is a remainder of 25 which can be found by subtracting 99 from 74.
99 - 74 = 25 , so
99/74 = 1 R 25
