Erika baked 254 puffs. She ate 6
z of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of z?
- If z = 11, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Erika ate = 254 - 6
zNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
254 - 6z4 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received

= (254 - 66) ÷ 4
= 188 ÷ 4
= 47
Answer(s): (a)
