Question

Abhasra had some candy to give to her 4 children. She first took 9 pieces

for herself and then evenly divided the rest
among her children. Each child received
4 pieces. With how many pieces did
she start?

Answer 1

25 pieces

Explanation:

She took 9 pieces for herself, which means that we already know that she had at least 9 pieces. She has 4 children and gave them each four, so you times 4 children times 4 pieces each.

That gives us 16. 16=9=25

So 25 pieces. Hope it helps!
