Answer:

Each coworker gets 43 paper clips.

April is left with 7 paper clips.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of paper clips = 394

Number of coworkers = 9

The paper clips needed to be equally divided among 9 coworker.

We can write division algorithm of 394 as:


394 = (34* 9) + 7

Thus, each coworker gets 43 paper clips each.

April is left with 7 paper clips.
