Kim bought 24 apples at the market.
She put 4 apples into each of 4 drawers in her kitchen.
She gave the rest of them to her friend.
How many apples did?

First lets find out how many she put in the drawers.

We know
4 apples per draw
4 drawers = ? apples

4 Ă— 4 = 16
4 drawers = 16 apples

How many does she give her friend when she buys 24 apples and keeps 16 apples?

24 - 16 = amount of apples she gives her friend.
24 - 16 = 8
Kim gives her friend 8 apples.

Answer: D. 8
