Question

Pawpa has 60 chocolates. He keeps 20 for himself and distributes the rest among 4 friends. How many chocolates will each friend get?

• A. 2
• B. 10
• C. 5
• D. 40

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10

Total number of chocolates = 60
Number of chocolates Pawpa kept to himself = 20
Number of friends = 4
We subtract 20 from 60.
Number of chocolates left for Pawpa’s friends
= Total number of chocolates - Number of chocolates Pawpa kept to himself
= 60 - 20
= 40
Number of chocolates left for friends ÷ Number of friends
= Number of chocolates each friend will get
Therefore, 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Hence, Option A is correct.
