Question

Monica came home from trick or treating on Halloween night and had 36 pieces of candy in her bag. Each day she eats 2 pieces of candy and after a certain amount of days there are only 12 pieces of candy left. In how many days did she eat the candy ?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

You need to do 36 divided by 2 and you get 18

Answer 2

12 days

Explanation:

Initially Monica has total 36 pieces of candy. If 12 pieces of candy are left after a certain number of days then it means she had eaten 24 pieces of candy. Since she eats 2 pieces of candy each day thus the required number of days in which she eaten 24 pieces of candy will be:

Days in which she eaten 24 candy= Number of eaten candies/candies she eats in each day

= 24/2

= 12 days
