Step-by step

Answer 2

Answer: She has 480 pieces of candy left after Halloween (option a ).

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

• Candy available: six 100-piece bags

• Number of children: 20

• Pieces of candy for each child: 6

So, we have to calculate the total amount of candy available by multiplying the pieces of candy that each bag has (100) by the number of bags(6)

• 100 x 6 = 600

Then, we have to multiply the number of children (20) by the number of pieces of candy that each one receives (6) and then subtract that number to the number of pieces of candy available.

• 20x 6 = 120

• 600 -120 = 480

She has 480 pieces of candy left after Halloween (option a ).
