Question

Twelve friends came to Guy's birthday party. He received seven gifts and a total of $95 in cash for his birthday. He buys an airplane model kit for $9, and he wants to donate $8 to each of several local animal shelters. How much money will he have left if he donates to as many animal shelters as possible?

Answer 1

Hey!

Ignore the birthday party stuff and go to 95 first. Subtract 9 from 95 you get the answer 86. Next you need to find how many times 8 goes into 86. 86/8 which is 10 with a remainder of 6. Therefore, Guy can donate to 6 animal shelter. I hope this helps with future problems.
