- Tom had 114 baseball cards. He kept 10, so he shared 114 - 10 = 104 cards. He shared these evenly among 8 friends, so each friend got 104 ÷ 8 = 13 cards.
- The teacher bought 7 packets with 9 crayons each, which is 7 × 9 = 63 crayons. She also bought 5 packets with 10 crayons each, which is 5 × 10 = 50 crayons. In total, she bought 63 + 50 = 113 crayons.
- Mr. Smith baked 3 trays of 36 cookies, which is 3 × 36 = 108 cookies. He divided them evenly into 4 bags, so each bag got 108 ÷ 4 = 27 cookies.
- The pizza shop had orders for 4 pepperoni, 97 vegetable, and 335 cheese pizzas, totaling 4 + 97 + 335 = 436 pizzas. With 4 cooks making an equal number, each cook made 436 ÷ 4 = 109 pizzas.
