Question

Scott bought three bags of candy with 75 pieces each one. He plans to divide all the candy evenly among seven friends. How many pieces of candy will Scott have left for himself

Answer 1

STEP 1
Find total number of pieces
75 per bag * 3 bags= 225

STEP 2
Divide total number of pieces by 7 friends
225 ÷ 7= 32.14

STEP 3
32 * 7 friends= 224 pieces divided among friends

STEP 4
225 total pieces - 224 pieces divided among friends= 1 pieces left for him

ANSWER: Each friend gets 32 pieces and he has 1 piece left for himself.

Hope this helps! :)
