Bailey receives 82 pieces of candy while trick-or-treating on Halloween. She plans to eat four pieces each day starting November 1st. How many pieces of candy will she have left on November 8th? If Thanksgiving falls on November 26th, will Bailey still have any candy left to share with her cousins? If she will have candy left to share, how many pieces will she have left? If she will not have candy left to share, on what day did she eat the last piece?

She will have 50 pieces left on November 8th. She will not have enough candy to share with her cousins. The last day she eats candy will be November 16th.

Step-by-step explanation:

First off you will take 4 and multiply it by 8 because that’s the number of days.  

So 4 x 8 = 32

Then we take 82 the start amount and subtract it from 32 and that gives us 50.

82 - 32 = 50

Then we can subtract 26 from 8 to figure out how many days of candy eating Bailey will do until the 26th.

26 - 8 = 18

Now we will multiply 18 by 4 to see how many pieces of candy Bailey will have eaten up until November 26th.

18 x 4 = 72.

The next step would be to add together 50 and 72. Since we got 72 as our answer and we know she only had 82 pieces of candy so Bailey had run out of candy before thanksgiving.

Now we need to find out when she ran out of candy. Basically this is where I played around with numbers. I multiplied 4 by 7,8, and 9 and then I took the value I got from each of those and added it to 50 to see if we got our original value if 82. When 4 (the amount of candy each day) is multiplied by 8 (the number of day) we got 32. Then we can add that to 50 and get 82.

we can add November 8th + 8 days can get November 16th

hope this helps you!

she will have 50 pieces left on november 8th. she doesnt have candy to share with her cousins
