Niesha has 1 cards left over after putting 361 cards in 15 bags

We can solve this problem by dividing the total number of cards by the number of bags and checking for a remainder.

Steps:

Divide the total number of cards by the number of bags: 361 cards / 15 bags = 24 cards/bag.

Check if there is a remainder: 24 cards/bag x 15 bags = 360 cards.

Calculate the remaining cards: 361 cards - 360 cards = 1 card leftover.

Therefore, Niesha has 16 cards left over after putting 361 cards in 15 bags.
