Question

Mitch is buying candy bars for his friends. He wants to give 2 bars to each friend, and wants to have 10 spare bars. He can afford to buy 36 candy bars. How many friends can he treat?

Answer 1

Mitch can give 2 candy bars to 13 friends

Explanation:

first, since he wants 10 left over, you subtract 36-10 which is 26. Then, since he wants to give each friend 2 candy bars, you divide 26 by 2 which equals 13.
