Zoe baked 177 croissants. She ate 3
e of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of e?
- If e = 19, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Zoe ate = 177 - 3
eNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
177 - 3e4 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received
= (177 - (3 x 19)) ÷ 4
= (177 - 57) ÷ 4
= 120 ÷ 4
= 30
Answer(s): (a)
177 - 3e4; (b) 30
