<human>:  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?
<bot>: How many students does Lucas have? ** Since Lucas makes 4 pieces of chocolate per student, he has 40 / 4 = <<40/4=10>>10 students.
How many students will be in Lucas' class? ** This upcoming Monday, there will be 10 - 3 = <<10-3=7>>7 students.
How many pieces of chocolate candy will Lucas make for his class on Monday? ** Lucas will make 4 * 7 = <<4*7=28>>28 pieces of chocolate candy.
