Answer:

(400-x)/3

Explanation:

Savannah started with 400 chocolate chips, but she saved x chips for a garnish. So she used 400 - x chips in the brownies.
She split the 400 - x chips evenly among 3 pans of brownies. So each pan had 400-x/3 chips.

Answer:

I think the answer is 1202403 with the remainder on 201

Explanation:

Just keep repeating the same process of how much of 333 goes into ( whatever number you are on) and keep dragging down the number one by one. I don't know if this is the correct answer or if it is division, but I think my answer is correct.
