Mitch is buying candy bars for his friends. He wants to give 2 bars to each friend, and wants to have 10 spare bars. He can afford to buy 36 candy bars. How many friends can he treat?
first, since he wants 10 left over, you subtract 36-10 which is 26. Then, since he wants to give each friend 2 candy bars, you divide 26 by 2 which equals 13.
