Question

Ok so i have 550 pieces of candy to pass out and every 5 mins i hand out 20 pieces, after 25 min how many do i have??

how would i find the answer?

Answer 1

I would first figure out how many pieces are being handed out per minute. 20 pieces divided by every 5 minutes equals 4 pieces every minute. 4 pieces every minute for 25 minutes is 100 pieces. Subtract 100 pieces from your original 550 pieces and you have 450 pieces left.

Answer 2

550-100=450 left 20*5=100 pieces passed out in 25mins
