Jenson has 256 beads. He gets 67 more beads from a friend. He then uses 157 of the beads to make necklaces for his teachers. Finally, he makes bracelets out of the remaining beads and each bracelet will use 8 beads. What is the greatest number of bracelets Jenson can make?

256+67=323
323-157=166
166/8=20.75
Jenson can make 20 complete bracelets.
Hope it helps!

so Jenson has 256 beads + 67 beads = 323 beads - 157 beads for the necklaces = 166 beads divided by 8 beads per bracelet = 20 bracelets with the remainder of 6 beads.
