Answer:
17 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
He started with 429 and and had 4 left after the equal splitting.
So he basically split:
429 - 4 = 425 pencils
He split 425 pencils EQUALLY among 25 students. So, each got the same amount. How much?? To figure this out, we divide total pencils split (425) by the number of students (25). So we have:
425/25 = 17
Thus,
Each student got 17 pencils
