Jade baked 151 wafers. She ate 2
p of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of p?
- If p = 13, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Jade ate = 151 - 2
pNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
151 - 2p5 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (151 - (2 x 13)) ÷ 5
= (151 - 26) ÷ 5
= 125 ÷ 5
= 25
Answer(s): (a)
151 - 2p5; (b) 25
