First of all, I'm going to figure out how many total treats that I'll be giving to my friends. If I give each one of my three friends three treats, that would be:
3 x 3 = 9 treats
Then I will just need to subtract 9 from the 71 treats that I started with to get how many are left.
71-9= 62 treats left over
