John won 72 pieces of gum

playing hoops at the
county fair. At school he
gave four to every student
in his math class. He only
has 4 remaining. How

Answer:

Explanation:

72 pcs gum - 4 remaining = 68 pcs of gum, 68 divided by 4

Divide 68 (amount of gumballs passed out to every student in Johns math class) by 4 (amount John gave to each student in his math class) = 17 Students in John math class Or 18 students when you include John.
