Question

Twenty seven candy bars are split
evenly between three friends. Each
friend eats two of their candy bars.
How many candy bars does each
friend have?

Answer 1

Answer: 7 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation: 27/3 = 9

If each friend ate 2 candy bars a piece, 3x2=6

27 - 6 = 21

21/3 = 7

Each friend had 9 candy bars to begin with, but they all ate 2 each, which now leaves them with 7 candy bars each.
