Answer:
the total amount of animals in McDonald's farm is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the attached image:
McDonald can earn:
15 cows x $250 = $3,750
2 horses x $250 = $500
20 sheep x $200 = $4,000
25 goats x $200 = $5,000
17 chickens x $50 = $850
total = $14,100
Basically, 296 divided by 6 means 296 cut up into 6 parts
it doesn't divide equally into whole numbers so we have a remainder
we actually have a remainder of 2, not 8 since we have one 6 in 8 so it actually is
296/6=49 remainder 2
The number y, decreased by 12
