At Dan’s birthday party, there were $5200$ chocolate bars. He gave them away to $13$ of his friends. If no chocolate bars were left at the end of the party and they were distributed equally, how many chocolate bars did each of his friends take home?

• A. $260$
• B. $400$
• C. $40$
• D. $600$

Answer 1

Therefore, each friend got $400$ chocolate bars.
