s of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of s?
- If s = 17, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Pamela ate = 209 - 5
sNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
209 - 5s4 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (209 - (5 x 17)) ÷ 4
= (209 - 85) ÷ 4
= 124 ÷ 4
= 31
Answer(s): (a)
209 - 5s4; (b) 31
