Answer:

(400-x) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Savannah had 400 chocolate chips. She saved x chips for a garnish, and mixed the rest of the chocolate chips evenly into 3 pans of brownies. Write your answer as an expression

Solution

Total chocolate chips Savannah has=400

Saved chips for garnish =x

Total chocolate chips remaining= 400 - x

We subtract the saved chocolate chips because when an item is saved, it will be deducted from the original Quantity

She mixed the rest of the chocolate chips evenly into 3 pans of brownies

That is,

Remaining chocolate chips (400 - x) is mixed evenly into 3 pans of brownies

(400 - x) / 3

Therefore, the answer is given by the expression:

(400-x) / 3
