Question

Monica and her friends buy a jumbo bag of Millicent's Mini Donuts at the fair. They sit at a picnic table to share them. Monica evenly distributes the donuts onto 4 napkins, one for each person in the group. Each napkin has 14 donuts.
Which equation can you use to find the number of donuts d in the bag?
Solve this equation for d to find the number of donuts in the bag.
donuts

Answer 1

To find the total number of donuts \( d \) in the bag, we can set up an equation based on the information given. Since Monica distributes the donuts evenly onto 4 napkins, and each napkin has 14 donuts, we can express this with the following equation:

\[
d = 4 \times 14
\]

Now, let's solve for \( d \):

\[
d = 4 \times 14 = 56
\]

So, the total number of donuts in the bag is \( \boxed{56} \).
