Drew went trick or treating. He visited nine houses on one Street. He then ate eight pieces of candy. He then visited five more houses. If he got 41 pieces in all, what was the average amount of candy per house

Average candy per house=2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of candy=Total number for the houses+Total number he ate

where;

Total number of candy=41 pieces

Total number for the house=Number of houses*Number of candy per house, Number of houses = (9+5) = 14 houses, Number of candy per house=c

Total number for the house=14*c=14c

Total number he ate=8

Replacing;

41=14c+8

14c=41-8

14c=33

c=33/14=2.4

Average candy per house=2.4
