Marcus has 1,525 marbles and divides the marbles into 15 bags to seal each bag. How many marbles are in each bag and how many marbles are left over? marbles and leftover

Answer 1

There are 101 marbles in each bag and 10 marbles left over

Explanation:

We can use the modulus to find out left over. The modulus is the remainder of the division from one number by another number. For example, 7 % 2 = 1. When you divide 7 by 2, division is 3 but the remainder is 1.

1525 % 15 = 10 marbles are left over

Now, we know that 1525 - 10 = 1515 marbles are equally put into each bag. That means each bag contains

1515 / 15 = 101 marbles
