Answer: no

Explanation:

47 bgs tims 21 in each bag gives

47 x 21 = 987 candies in all

if there are 500 people then lets divide the number of candies by the number of people to see how much each person gets

so 987/500 = 1.97

so NO there would not be enough candies for each person to get 2

as you see each person will get 1.97
