n of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of n?
- If n = 20, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Gillian ate = 322 - 2
nNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
322 - 2n6 (b)
