Question

A piggy bank was filled during a calendar year, by a coin placed in it every day except some Sundays. If the quantity of coins in the piggy bank is distributed evenly among 6 children, two coins remain. If this quantity is distributed evenly among 7 children, four coins remain. If the quantity of coins in the piggy bank is distributed evenly among 8 children, how many coins will remain?

Answer 1

The answer is 6

Explanation:

In a year there is 365 days.

From the first condition, 6x + 2 = to a unknown number of coins

From the second condition, 7x + 4 = to the same number of unknown coins.

The number which satisfies this given condition is 326 coins.

If we divide this number by 8 to share it among 8 students =

326 ÷ 8 = 40 coins/ student and 6 coins remaining. Therefore, the answer is

6 Coins

Answer 2

probably 6////////////
