Explanation:

Given:

Number of bags = 4

Number of candies in each bag = 8

Number of Gift boxes = 9

Find:

Number of candy left = ?

Computation:

Total number of candies = Number of bags × Number of candies in each bag

Total number of candies = 4 × 8

Total number of candies = 32

According to Euclid division lemma:

a = bq +r

32 = (3)(9) + Remainder

32 = 27 + Remainder

Remainder = 5

Number of candy left = 5
