Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 more pieces of candy. Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends, and she wants to make sure they each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?
she buys 4 bags of candy each holding 10 pieces....thats 40 pieces of candy...her dad gives her 5 more...so thats 45 pieces of candy. She wants to split it equally with her six friends. (6 x 7) = 42....with 3 remaining pieces.
so she can give each friend 7 pieces of candy with 3 left over
