Chris had s number of baseball cards. He decided to distribute them equally to six of his friends. After he gave each of them x cards, he decided to keep the remainder for his future children. How many cards did Chris keep for his children?
(A) s/6x
(B) 6s/x
(C) s/7x
(D) s - 6x
(E) s - 7x
Let the remainder cards be \(r\)
So, Total cards = cards distributed to 6 firends + remiander
s = 6x + r
r = s - 6x
Hence, option D
