A gumball machine has 78 gumballs. each person who puts a coin into the machine gets 3 gumballs. after a certain number of people get gumballs, there are 54 gumballs remaining.Which equation could we use to estimate how many people (p) got gumballs out of the machine?A. 80-3-50=pB. 80÷3+50=pC. (80+50)÷3=pD. (80-50)÷3=p

Given :

Number of gumballs has = 78

Remaining gumballs = 54

Number of gumballs per coin = 3

So, Number of people that got gumballs = (78 - 54)/3

= 24/3

= 8

Hence, 8 people got gumballs from machine.

From the given equations (d) is the most suitable.
