Paul won 121 lollipops playing horseshoes at his school's game night. After he gave 4 lollipops to each of his friends, he had only 1 remaining. How many friends does he have?

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the no. of friends he has be=x

So, acc. to question:

121-4x=1

•°• x=30

So he has 30 friends.

Step-by-step explanation: since he has x friends and to one friend he gave 4 lollipops

•°• to (x) friends he gave= 4x lollipops

So out of 121 lolipops he gave 4x lolipops so he would be left with ( 121-4x) lollipops and hence the equation.

And I must say this guy is a great friend
