Question

Mayor Modulus wants to distribute 2000 Donuts among 85 citizens in an event. Only 84 folks actually showed up because Banker Bill who was invited actually got stucked in a space traffic jam. After distributing 2000 Donuts among 84 citizens, how many donuts would be left for Banker Bill?

• A. 23
• B. 68
• C. 45

Answer 1

The correct option is B 68

Total number of donuts = 2000
Number of citizens present in the event = 85 - 1 = 84

Number of donuts each citizen get $=\frac{\text{Total number of donuts}}{\text{Number of citizens present in the event}}$
$=2000÷84$

Divide 2000 by 84, and the remainder gives the number of donuts that will be left for Banker Bill

Let's divide using long division method

quotient = 23
remainder = 68
Therefore, 68 donuts would be left for Banker Bill.
