25 packets × 6 lollies per packet = 150 lollies

If there are N students:

        4
    N)150
       4N
       22

DIVIDEND = (QUOTIENT × DIVISOR) + REMAINDER

     150 = (4 × N) + 22

     150 = 4N + 22

     128 = 4N

      32 = N


Checking:

    
        4
   32)150
      128
       22

150 lollies, p students, 4 lollies per student and 22 lollies remain


150%2A%281%2F4%29=p%2B22%2F4

150=4p%2B22

4p=128

highlight%28p=32%29
