Gwen baked 264 wafers. She ate 4
y of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of y?
- If y = 11, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Gwen ate = 264 - 4
yNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
264 - 4y5 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (264 - (4 x 11)) ÷ 5
= (264 - 44) ÷ 5
= 220 ÷ 5
= 44
Answer(s): (a)
264 - 4y5; (b) 44
