Question

Matt won 95 pieces of gum playing hoops at his school's game night. Later, he gave three to each of his friends. He only has 8 remaining. How many friends does he have? A. 27 B. 24 C. 34 D. 29

Answer 1

The answer is D: 29 because 87 pieces of gym where given away

Answer 2

D. 29 is the right answer.

He has 95 pieces, gave 3 each to his friends , remaining 8 with him.

So, here the Remainder is 8.

That means we have to subtract 95 with 8 and divide it with 3.

Mainly as,

95-8 = 87 ( 87 pieces were given to his friends)

87/3 = 29 (each of them get 3 equally)
