Jesse's mother gave him 55 pieces of candy to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 4 pieces to each of his friends and still had 3 pieces left. The equation 4x + 3 = 55 can be used to find the number of friends (x) at the party.

How many friends were at Jesse's party?

A) 13
B) 14
C) 15
D) 16

Respuesta :

55 (total candies) - 3 (leftover candies) = 52 (the number of candies he gave to his friends)

52/4 = 13

in total, 13 friends attended jesse’s party.
