Every week, Lucas makes 4 pieces of chocolate candy for each of his students on Monday. He made 40 pieces of chocolate candy last Monday. This upcoming Monday, 3 of Lucas' students will not be coming to class. How many pieces of chocolate candy will Lucas make for his class on Monday? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Since Lucas makes 4 pieces of chocolate per student, he has 40 / 4 = 10 students. This upcoming Monday, there will be 10 - 3 = 7 students. Lucas will make 4 * 7 = 28 pieces of chocolate candy. So the final answer is 28.
