48/5, the integer is 9, 9x5=45

and btw, it's "give", not "gibe"

PLEASE

this question seriously values 100 points? [48/5] where [] is greatest integer function; Jo gives to 9 friends i.e. 45 Even the level was pending! bring it to level one with points no more than 10!

i don't know why, but every time i post a problem, it always starts with 100 points.. i have been looking for options to change it but it just automatically sets it as it is.

If Jo has 48 candies and gave 5 candies to each of his friends, then he gave 45 candies to 9 friends and remained 3 candies, because 5x9 = 45.
