Roshel baked 364 shortbreads. She ate 2
d of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of shortbreads each of her friends received in terms of d?
- If d = 14, how many shortbreads did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of shortbreads left after Roshel ate = 364 - 2
dNumber of shortbreads that each of her friends received =
364 - 2d6 (b)
Number of shortbreads that each of her friends received
= (364 - (2 x 14)) ÷ 6
= (364 - 28) ÷ 6
= 336 ÷ 6
= 56
Answer(s): (a)
364 - 2d6; (b) 56
