Q. Bentley was given a large box of 54 chocolates for his birthday. If he eats exactly 3 chocolates each day, how many chocolates would Bentley have remaining 13 days after his birthday?Answer: □ chocolates
Calculate total chocolates eaten: To find out how many chocolates Bentley will have left after 13 days, we need to calculate the total number of chocolates he will have eaten by then. We do this by multiplying the number of chocolates he eats per day by the number of days.Calculation: 3 chocolates/day ×13 days =39 chocolates
Subtract eaten chocolates from total: Now that we know Bentley will have eaten 39 chocolates in 13 days, we subtract this number from the total number of chocolates he was given to find out how many will be remaining.Calculation: 54 chocolates −39 chocolates =15 chocolates
