e of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of cupcakes each of her friends received in terms of e?
- If e = 19, how many cupcakes did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of cupcakes left after Pamela ate = 400 - 4
eNumber of cupcakes that each of her friends received =
400 - 4e6 (b)
Number of cupcakes that each of her friends received

= (400 - 76) ÷ 6
= 324 ÷ 6
= 54
Answer(s): (a)
