Jack's mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends and still had 2 chocolates left. How many friends were at Jack's party?

Respuesta :

As per the given total number of chocolates, and the number of chocolates given to his friends and the left chocolates , the number of friends at Jack's party were equal to 16.

As given in the question,

Total number of chocolates given by Jack's mother is equal to 50

Number of chocolates given by Jack to his friends = 3

Number of chocolates left with Jack = 2

Let 'x' represents the number of friends

Requires equation to show the relation we have,

3x + 2 = 50

⇒ 3x = 50 - 2

⇒ 3x = 48

⇒ x = 48/ 3

⇒ x= 16 friends

Therefore, for the given total number of chocolates, and the number of chocolates given to his friends and the left chocolates , the number of friends at Jack's party were equal to 16.
