Answer:

Explanation:

Easiest way to do this is to work backwards.

If Willie only has 1 remaining lollipop, this means that he must've given a total of 124 lollipops to his friends. (125 - 1 = 124)

Then we know he gave 4 lollipops to each friend. So all you need to do is divide the total number of lollipops he gave to his friends (124) by how many he gave to each friend.

Number of friends = Total number of lollipops given to friends / Number of lollipops given to each friend.

Number of friends =
(124)/(4) = ?
