If Leda baked 73 cupcakes and accidentally drops 5. She has 68 left.

73 - 5 = 68

If she divides them in equal container she would have 3 left.

13 x 5 = 65
Therefore: 68/15= 5 r 3

Therefore Leda had 5 cupcakes in each container and 3 left.

Answer: 3 cupcakes

When 5 drops, the remaining are;
73-5=68 cupcakes
13 containers will hold 65 cupcakes
