Question

Ms. Rogers bought 4 bags of candies to make gift boxes for her family. Each bag contained 18 candies. She put an equal number of these candies into each of 7 gift boxes. How many candies were left over?

Answer 1

2 candies were left.

Explanation:

Number of bags of candies = 4 bags

Number of candies in each bag = 18 candies

Total number of candies =
`4(18)=72`

Ms. Rogers put an equal number of these candies into each of 7 gift boxes.

Divide 72 by 7

72 = 7(10) + 2

Here, remainder is 2.

So,

2 candies were left.
