Question

Natasha brought 21 boxes with 35 apples each. She distributes those apples equally between John and Mike, after taking 105 for herself. How many apple will John and Mike, each get to sell?

• A. 14
• B. 15
• C. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is A 14

Total number of apples = 735
Number of apples taken by Natasha = 105
Number of remaining apples = 735 - 105 = 630

Number of apples John/Mike gets = $\frac{\text{Number of remaining apples}}{\text{2}}$

Let's solve $\frac{630}{2}$ using long division method

Quotient = 315
$\therefore$ John and Mike would get 315 apples each
