Gabby baked 322 puffs. She ate 4
x of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of x?
- If x = 13, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Gabby ate = 322 - 4
xNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
322 - 4x5 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (322 - (4 x 13)) ÷ 5
= (322 - 52) ÷ 5
= 270 ÷ 5
= 54
Answer(s): (a)
322 - 4x5; (b) 54
