Keywords: multiplication, addition

Explanation:

Skittles ate by Evan = 13

No. of bowls = 4

No. of skittles in each bowl = 64

As the skittles are distributed evenly therefore,

Skittles in 4 bowls = 64*4

Skittles in 4 bowls = 256

Total skittles = Skittles in 4 bowls + skittles ate by Evan

Total skittles = 256 + 13

Total skittles = 269

There were 269 skittles in the bag originally.
