During a sale, a grocery store gives every third customer a free loaf of bread. If the store gets 910 customers, how many loaves of bread does the store give away for free?

#33# loaves

Explanation:

Since every third costumer gets a free loaf, we are going to divide #910# by #3#

#910/3 = 33# with a remainder of #1#. That remainder is a person that does not get a loaf of bread because they were the first in a group of three, and only the last in a group of three got bread.

So the store gave away 33 loaves.
