Question

If 336 chocolates are equally distributed among 4 people, how many chocolates did each get?

• A. 82 chocolates
• B. 84 chocolates
• C. 86 chocolates
• D. 88 chocolates

Answer 1

The correct option is B 84 chocolates

Total chocolates = 336
Number of people = 4
Number of chocolates per person
= 336 $÷$ 4
$$\begin{array}{c}84\\ 4336\\ -\underset{–}{32}2\\ 16\\ -\underset{–}{16}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 336 ÷ 4 = 84.
$\therefore$ Each person got 84 chocolates.
