Ieda bakes 73 cupcakes and accidentally drops 5 of them. She divides them equally into 13 containers for a bake sale for the school band. How many cupcakes does Ieda have left?
(73 - 5) / 13 = ?
73 - 5 = 68
If she puts 5 cupcakes in each container = 65, she will have 3 left over.
To determine the number of cupcakes Ieda has left, we need to follow these steps:
1. Start with the total number of cupcakes Ieda baked, which is 73.
2. Subtract the number of cupcakes she accidentally dropped, which is 5.
Calculation: 73 cupcakes - 5 cupcakes = 68 cupcakes
3. Divide the remaining cupcakes equally into 13 containers for the bake sale.
Calculation: 68 cupcakes รท 13 containers = 5 cupcakes with 3 cupcakes left over.
Therefore, Ieda has 5 cupcakes left after dividing them equally into 13 containers.
