Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is most likely about what percentage of the candy does each individual have left. Since the phrase is explaining that each ones candy bar is the same size and can be broken into equally divided pieces then it is most likely about figuring out which one of the individual's has more candy left over when compared to the other's candy. This is possible since both candies are the same size but more information would be needed.
