Question

Krystal won 54 pieces of gum playing hoops at her school's game night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends. She only has 6 remaining. How many friends does she have?

Answer 1

She started with 54

She has 6 left

So she gave away 48 (54-6)

She gave each friend 2

So 48/2 = 24

She has 24 friends
