Question

Mei won 61 lollipops playing horseshoes at the county fair. At school she gave two to every student in her math class. She has nine remaining. How many students are in her class?

Answer 1

26 students because if you took the number of lollipops that she won and subtracted the remaining amount you would have 52. 52/2 = 26 (you are dividing by two because she gave two to each student)

Answer 2

She might have 18 students in her class
