e of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of e?
- If e = 14, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Eva ate = 238 - 5
eNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
238 - 5e4 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (238 - (5 x 14)) ÷ 4
= (238 - 70) ÷ 4
= 168 ÷ 4
= 42
Answer(s): (a)
