Christov and Mateus gave out candy to children on Halloween. They each gave out candy at a constant rate, and they both gave away all of their candy.
Christov initially had 300 pieces of candy, and after he was visited by 17 children, he had 249 pieces left.
The following equation gives the number of remaining pieces of candy Mateus had as a function of the number of children who visited him.
M=270-3n
Who gave more candy to each child who visited him?
a. Christov
b. Mateus
c. They both gave out the same amount of candy per child
