Answer:
Karen had 45 m and m's candy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of m and m's candy be 'x'.
Now given:
Karen gave an equal amount of m and m's to herself and four friends.
So we can say that;
Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally = 5
Also Given:
Each person receives m and m's equivalent to the largest one digit number.
Now we know that;
Largest one digit number is 9.
So we can say that;
Each person receives m and m's = 9
We need to find number of m and m's Karen have.
Solution:
So we can say that;
Total number of m and m's Karen have is equal to Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally multiplied by number of m and m's can each person receives.
framing in equation form we get;
Total number of m and m's Karen had =
Hence Karen had 45 m and m's candy.
