j of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of j?
- If j = 19, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Hazel ate = 361 - 4
jNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
361 - 4j5 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (361 - (4 x 19)) ÷ 5
= (361 - 76) ÷ 5
= 285 ÷ 5
= 57
Answer(s): (a)
