Gabby baked 394 macarons. She ate 5
r of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of r?
- If r = 20, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of macarons left after Gabby ate = 394 - 5
rNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
394 - 5r6 (b)
Number of macarons that each of her friends received
= (394 - (5 x 20)) ÷ 6
= (394 - 100) ÷ 6
= 294 ÷ 6
= 49
Answer(s): (a)
394 - 5r6; (b) 49
