Question

Paul won 37 super bouncy balls playing hoops at county fair. At school he gave two to every student in his math class. He only had 3 remaining. How many students are in his class?

Answer 1

17 students

Explanation:

If he started with 37 and ended with 3 we have to subtract those three first so that we know how many we are actually working with so, 37-3=34. 34 balls is the amount distributed among the class. 34/2 is 17.
