Ieda bakes 73 cupcakes and accidentally drops 5 of them. she divides them equally into 13 containers for a bake sale for the school band. how many cupcakes does ieda have left?
2 cupcakes
3 cupcakes
4 cupcakes
5 cupcakes

3 cupcakes:
When 5 drops, the remaining are;
73-5=68 cupcakes
13 containers will hold 65 cupcakes

If Leda baked 73 cupcakes and accidentally drops 5. She has 68 left.

73 - 5 = 68

If she divides them in equal container she would have 3 left.

13 x 5 = 65
Therefore: 68/15= 5 r 3

Therefore Leda had 5 cupcakes in each container and 3 left.

3 cupcakes
