Question: There were 250 balloons in one package. Dante evenly shared the balloons among his 5 friends. Dante changed his mind and asked each of his friends to give him 11 balloons. How many balloons does each friend have now? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Balloons divided among 5 friends = 250 / 5 = 50 balloons per friend. Dante took back 11 balloons: 50 - 11 = 39 balloons. Each friend now has 39 balloons. So the answer is 39.
