Answer 2

8 candies

Explanation:

Total number of candies = 55 candies

Number of candies left after eating 7 candies= 55-7 = 48

Number of stockings = 6

To find the equal number of candies into each stocking, we will divide the left candies by number of stockings:

=48/6

=8

Therefore each stocking has 8 candies....
