Question

On Monday, a concession stand manager ordered 985 popcorn bags and 1010 paper food trays. She splits the bags and trays evenly among 5 concession stands . How many items will each concession stand receive? Explain

Answer 1

• 197 popcorn bags
• 202 food trays

Explanation:

Since the numbers are split evenly 5 ways, each stand gets 1/5 of the total:

(985 bags)/5 = 197 bags

(1010 trays)/5 = 202 trays

Each concession stand receives 197 popcorn bags and 202 food trays.
