Question

Beth won 86 pieces of gum playing hoops at her school’s game night. Later, she gave three to each of her friends. She only has 2 remaining. How many friends does she have.

Answer 1

That's a very dumb question, because some of her friends could be fakers and users. But, I'll answer it.

86 subtracted by 2 is 84.

It says she gave 3 to each friend so:

84 divided by 3 is 28.

She has 28 friends.
