Kayla won 47 super bouncy balls playing hoops at her school's game night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends. She only has 7 remaining. How many friends does she have? Write an equation and then solve.

Answer: 20 friends

Explanation:

47 - 7 = 40

40 ÷ 2 = 20

Just to double check, 2 x 20 = 40 + 7 balls left over = 47
