Answer 1

Answer:

There are 101 marbles in each bag and 10 marbles left over

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the modulus to find out left over. The modulus is the remainder of the division from one number by another number. For example, 7 % 2 = 1. When you divide 7 by 2, division is 3 but the remainder is 1.

1525 % 15 = 10 marbles are left over

Now, we know that 1525 - 10 = 1515 marbles are equally put into each bag. That means each bag contains

1515 / 15 = 101 marbles
