Several friends each had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts leftovers from game they realized that they could have bought 2 fewer bags of peanuts between them how many friends went to the game

Each friend had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts leftovers and they should've bought 2 fewer bags

Which means that there are 2 extra bags

So 2/5 multiplied by the number of friends gives you 2 extra bags

Let x be the number of friends

x (2/5) = 2

2x = 10

x = 5

So 5 friends went to the game.
