Troy is on the well-known reality show, Kid Castaway, in which a group of kids spends a week learning to survive on a tropical island. On Monday, the kids gather a bunch of coconuts to
eat. They divide the coconuts evenly among all 15 kids in the group. Each kid gets 3
coconuts.
Which equation can you use to find the number of coconuts c the kids gather?
C + 15 = 3
C - 15 = 3
15c = 3
C = 3
15
Solve this equation for c to find the number of coconuts the kids gather.
