Betty collected 400 food packages for charity. She gave g packages to an orphanage, and distributed the rest equally among 4 charities. How many packages did each charity get?
So this is an equation. The starting value is the given value 400. She gave g packs to the orphanage, so she now has 400-g packages. Then she divides that by 4 and gives to 4 different charities. The answer is (400-g)÷4 Hope this helps!
