32 ÷ 8 = 4

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 48 flavors and toppings, 16 are flavors and 32 are toppings. First you must divide the 32 topping with the 8 children and the answer is 4 toppings per child.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
