The easiest way to find this answer is to work through it step by step.

She starts with 75 pieces.

She eats 5 pieces, so the # of pieces goes down from 75 to 75-5 = 70.

So she has 70 pieces left to put in the bags.

She puts the same amount in each of 10 bags ... so we divide 70 by 10 to find the # of pieces in each bag.

70 divided by 10 is 7.

She put 7 pieces in each bag.
