Question

Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 more pieces of candy. Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends, and she wants to make sure they each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?

Answer 1

So you would first find the amount of candy that Laurie has, which is 45. When you divide it by 6, you should get 7 with a remainder of 3. So the solution is 3 pieces of candy left over.
