Question 1024399: matt won 75 lollipops playing the bean bag toss at his school's game night. later he gave one to each of his friends. he has only 57 remaining. how many did he give away? Answer by EdenWolf(517) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! So, we know that Matt has 75 lollipops total originally.
He gives ONE lollipop per friend. Basically, each friend gets one lollipop.
After he gives one lollipop to each of his friends, he has 57 remaining.
Subtract 57 from 75.
75 - 57 = 18
Matt gave away 18 lollipops.
