Gwen baked 400 muffins. She ate 2
y of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of y?
- If y = 14, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Gwen ate = 400 - 2
yNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
400 - 2y6 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (400 - (2 x 14)) ÷ 6
= (400 - 28) ÷ 6
= 372 ÷ 6
= 62
Answer(s): (a)
400 - 2y6; (b) 62
