Question

A music club has $187 to buy ice cream for a party. Each carton of ice cream costs $4. If the club buys as many cartons as possible, how much money will the club have left?

Answer 1

They would have $3 dollars left over.

Explanation:

If you divide 187 by 4, you get 46.75. But if you look again, you can see that the remainder is 3 and it can confirm that it is the left over money that the club has now after buying as many ice cream cartons as possible.
