THURSDAY 2) Ms. Mason bought 42 boxes of candy bars for her club members to sell. Each box has 12 candy bars. There are 21 club members. How many candy bars does each member need to

To find out how many candy bars each club member needs to sell, we first need to calculate the total number of candy bars Ms. Mason bought. 1. **Calculate the total number of candy bars:** \[ \text{Total candy bars} = \text{Number of boxes} \times \text{Candy bars per box} = 42 \times 12 \] \[ \text{Total candy bars} = 504 \] 2. **Now, divide the total number of candy bars by the number of club members to find out how many each member needs to sell:** \[ \text{Candy bars per member} = \frac{\text{Total candy bars}}{\text{Number of members}} = \frac{504}{21} \] \[ \text{Candy bars per member} = 24 \] Therefore, each club member needs to sell **24 candy bars**.
