Sally needs 50 candy bars to put in her goodie bags for her party. She already has 3 candy bars at home. Each box of candy bars at the store has 8 bars in it. How many boxes of candy bars does she need to buy to reach 50?

5
B.
6
C.
7
D.
8

Sally would need 6 boxes, option B. If she's trying to reach 50, but already has 3 at home, then do 50-3=47. If there are 8 candy bars in a box, the closest basic multiple of 8 would be 6. 8 times 6 equals 48, which, obviously, is close to 47 (remember, you cannot have part of a box).
