C.0
D.5
Number of candy left = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of bags = 4
Number of candies in each bag = 8
Number of Gift boxes = 9
Find:
Number of candy left = ?
Computation:
Total number of candies = Number of bags × Number of candies in each bag
Total number of candies = 4 × 8
Total number of candies = 32
According to Euclid division lemma:
a = bq +r
32 = (3)(9) + Remainder
32 = 27 + Remainder
Remainder = 5
Number of candy left = 5
