Answer 1

Emmy had 57 pieces of candy. She gave 4 pieces each to 3 friends. Therefore, Emmy has 45 pieces of candy left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emmy had 57 pieces of candy. She gave 4 pieces each to 3 friends.

To find out how many pieces of candy Emmy has left, we need to subtract the total amount of candy given to her friends from the initial amount of candy she had.

4 pieces of candy given to each friend x 3 friends = 12 pieces of candy given away.

57 pieces of candy - 12 pieces of candy = 45 pieces of candy left.

Therefore, Emmy has 45 pieces of candy left.
