Question

Jazmine won 68 lollipops playing basketball at her school's game night. Later, she gave three to each of her friends. She only has 8 remaining. How many friends does she have.

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

If she has 68 lollipops, and she had 8 remaining, we should subtract the two.

68 - 8 = 60

So now we know she gave away 60 lollipops in total.

We know she gave 3 to each of her friends, so we would divide 60 by 3.

60/3 = 20

So she has 20 friends.
