They both knew that their dad loved chocolate, so they each gave him half of their chocolates. Also, they each gave their mother two chocolates; then they ate the rest. How many chocolates did Ivy get to eat? How many chocolates did Hayden get to eat?

Answer 1

Given to father by Ivy: 12/2=6

Given to father by Hayden: 10/2=5

Now total chocolates given by Ivy to mother and father: 6+2 = 8

Now total chocolates given by Hayden to mother and father: 5+2=7

Now total chocolates left with Ivy 12-8=4
