Answer to Question #277056 in Algebra for Mya

Question

If there are 21 guests and she divides both types of truffles equally among them, then each guest will get chocolate truffles and caramel truffles.

Answer 1

I think that the task is not full, I found the full version of it:

Shania is planning a party at her home. She has made 126 chocolate truffles and 84 caramel truffles to give to her guests. If there are 21 guests and she divides both types of truffles equally among them, then each guest will get ____

chocolate truffles and ____ caramel truffles.

So, we have 126 chocolate truffles and 21 guests. Therefore each of them will have

$$126:21=6$$

chocolate truffles. And there are 84 caramel truffles, so each of 21 guests will have 4 ones.

$$84:21=4$$

Answer: each guest will get 6 chocolate truffles and 4 caramel truffles.
