Susan has 45 hats in 20 cupboards. her friends borrowed some of the hats. ,nick borrowed 3 hats and shelly borrowed 2. hats. if susan divided the remaining hats into the cupboards., how many hats would be in each cupboard?

To solve this we will first see how many hats Susan has left when she lets her friends borrow the hats.

45 - 3 = 42
42 - 2 = 40

So, Susan has 40 hats left after her friends borrowed some. Now lets divide to see how many hats will go in 1 cupboard.

40 ÷ 20 = 2
2 hats in each cupboard.

CHECK OUR WORK:-

20 × 2 = 40.
We were RIGHT!!!

So, after Susan's friends borrow some of her hats she can put 2 hats in each cupboard. 

Hope I helped ya!! 

45 - 3 = 42 42 - 2 = 40 So, Susan has 40 hats left after her friends borrowed some.The we divide by 20 40 ÷ 20 = 2 So 2 hats in each cupboard.
