Mr. King has a box 295 crayons. He has 22 students and gives each student 12 crayons. How many crayons does Mr. King have left over? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

After distributing 12 crayons to each of his 22 students from a box of 295 crayons, Mr. King is left with 31 crayons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many crayons Mr. King has left after distributing them to his students, we can follow a straightforward mathematical calculation. Initially, Mr. King has 295 crayons. He gives each of his 22 students 12 crayons.

First, calculate the total number of crayons given to the students. Multiply the number of students by the number of crayons per student:

1. 22 students × 12 crayons/student = 264 crayons distributed.

Then, subtract the number of crayons given out from the original number:

1. 295 crayons – 264 crayons distributed = 31 crayons left over.

Therefore, Mr. King has 31 crayons remaining after giving crayons to his students.
