Zeph had 503 muffins in his bakery. He gave 386 muffins to the children. Then he arranged the remaining muffins equally into containers of 3.
- How many containers were there?
- If each container was sold at $8, how much money did he collect?

= 39
(b)
Amount that the Zeph collected
= 39 x 8
= $312
Answer(s): (a) 39; (b) $312
