Question
Bosco had 90 game cards. He gave 40p game cards to his brother. The remaining game cards were then divided equally among his 3 friends. How many game cards did each of his friends receive?
Solution
Step 1: Bosco had 90 game cards and he gave 40 to his brother. So, we subtract 40 from 90 to find out how many game cards Bosco had left.
90 - 40 = 50 game cards
Step 2: Bosco then divided the remaining 50 game cards equally among his 3 friends. So, we divide 50 by 3 to find out how many game cards each friend received.
50 ÷ 3 = 16.67
However, since we can't divide a game card, we can say that each friend received 16 game cards and Bosco was left with 2 game cards (since 3 friends * 16 cards = 48 cards, and 50 - 48 = 2).
