Question

A baker had 24 boxes for donuts he ended up making 526 donuts and splitting them evenly between the boxes how many extra donuts did he end up with

Answer 1

Answer:

The baker ended up with 22 extra donuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the baker had 24 boxes and made 526 donuts, to split them evenly between the total number of boxes means that we need to divide the number of total donuts by the number of boxes:

526 ÷ 24 = 21 remainder of 22

Since 24 x 21 = 504 and 24 x 22 = 528 and the baker only made 526 donuts, then the most amount of donuts he can use to split them evenly with the total amount of 526 is 504.  526 - 504 = 22, so he has an extra 22 donuts that will not be in boxes.
