Final answer:
After Shamima and George eat some of their candy on the first day, Shamima will have 109 pieces left and George will have 120 pieces left. Combined, they will have 229 pieces of candy remaining.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking a mathematics question related to subtraction. Initially, Shamima had 112 pieces of candy and George had 124 pieces. After eating some of their candy in one day, we need to subtract the amount eaten from their initial amounts to find out how many pieces each will have left.
For Shamima, who eats 3 pieces a day:
112 (initial pieces) - 3 (eaten pieces) = 109 pieces left after one day.
For George, who eats 4 pieces a day:
124 (initial pieces) - 4 (eaten pieces) = 120 pieces left after one day.
To find the total number of candies they have left after one day, we add Shamim's remaining pieces to George's remaining pieces:
109 (Shamima's remaining pieces) + 120 (George's remaining pieces) = 229 pieces.
The correct answer is A. 229.
