Question

There are 846 skitties. Rosy keeps 158 skitties home and distributes rest of the skitties among 16 friends. How many skitties do each friend get?

• A. 32
• B. 43
• C. 49
• D. 52

Answer 1

The correct option is B 43

Total number of skitties with Rosy = 846
Number of skitties left at home by Rosy = 158

Number of skitties left with Rosy = 846 - 158
So, 688 skitties are to be distributed among 16 friends.

Number of skitties each friend will get = 688 ÷ 16

$$\begin{array}{c}43\\ 16688\\ -\underset{–}{0}2\\ 68\\ -\underset{–}{64}\\ 48\\ -\underset{–}{48}\\ 0\end{array}$$
Thus, each friend gets 43 skitties.
