Answer:
76 homeless people were given apples.
Step-by-step explanation:
Anna has 4 apples, all of which she gave to Rickelle.
Rickelle had 302 apples, and after Anna gave the 4 to her, she had 302 + 4 = 306 apples.
Rickelle gave four apples to each homeless person, how many homeless people were given apples?
This can be solved using a rule of three.
One person got 4 apples. How many people were given 306 apples.
1 person - 4 apples
x people - 306 apples
Applying cross multiplication
4x = 306
x = 306/4
x = 76.5
We cannot give apples to half a person, so we take only the whole number.
76 homeless people were given apples.
