Question

Jess was babysitting 4 kids. She brought candy as their reward for being good. Jess kept 10
pieces for herself and then divided the rest amongst the kids. If she brought 34 pieces of
candy, how many pieces did each kid receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

4x + 10 = 34

If she had 34 pieces, and kept 10, you can subtract the 10 because she divided the rest of the remaining candy after taking 10.

You now have 24 pieces left to divide, which she does between 4 kids, so you divide it by 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

34-10=24

24÷4=6
