p of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of p?
- If p = 13, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Min ate = 165 - 3
pNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
165 - 3p6 (b)
