there is enough candy in a bag to give 12 pieces of candy to each of 20 children.
\n" ); document.write( "this means that there are 12 * 20 = 240 pieces of candy.
\n" ); document.write( "since 5 children do not want any candy, this means that the 240 pieces of candy can be divided amongst the remaining 15 children.
\n" ); document.write( "240 / 15 = 16 pieces of candy for each of the remaining 15 children.
\n" ); document.write( "to check to see if this is accurate, take 15 children and multiply them by 16 pieces of candy each to get a total of 240 pieces of candy that were handed out.\r
