Answer:

16 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Right at the beginning, you can take the 2 chocolates Jack was left with out of the 50 chocolates Jack had at the beginning. That equals 48 chocolate bars, so we know that Jack gave his friends a total if 48 chocolates

50 - 2 = 48

Now that you have the number 48, you are really close to the answer.

If you know that he gave each if his friends 3 chocolates, you can make that into an equation and put it into a calculator. That would look like this:

48 \div 3 = 16

The reason you do 48 ÷ 3 is because Jack divided his 48 chocolates into groups of 3 to give to each of the other kids.

You get the answer 16, which means the answer is 16 kids at his friend's birthday party.
