“Halloween was almost over, and Mr. Green had less than 20 sweets left.
“When the doorbell rang, he thought he would give all the sweets away.
“When he opened the door, there were two trick or treaters.
“He wanted to give away the sweets evenly, but he noticed that when he divided the sweets in two, there was one left over.
“Again, he tried to divide the sweets evenly among the three of them, but again one was left over.
“Finally, another trick or treater came to his door, making it four trick or treaters altogether. Mr. Green still had one sweet left over after dividing the left over sweets into fours.
“So how many sweets did Mr. Green have left when the doorbell rang?”
Please scroll down to the sign-off of this email see if you got the correct answer.

| This month, we introduce you to one of our Product Marketers, Demetrius Hall. |
| Here’s a little about Demetrius in his own words... |
|
|
|
I've been a part of Pearson in one role or another for 16 years. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I've worked in our editorial, sales, and marketing worlds before starting my current role as Product Marketer for our Statistics, Applied Calculus and Finite Mathematics titles.
These course areas are so vital for undergraduate students to develop real computational and analytical skills that can transfer to their professional lives. I enjoy working with our authors and hearing about how instructors help students find some comfort in learning math by connecting concepts to the real-world.
When I'm not on campus or at my desk, you can find me exploring a local craft brewery or rooting on my favorite teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Ohio State Buckeyes. Go Bucks!
Until next month...
