Gwen baked 202 cupcakes. She ate 3
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of cupcakes each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 14, how many cupcakes did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of cupcakes left after Gwen ate = 202 - 3
qNumber of cupcakes that each of her friends received =
202 - 3q4 (b)
Number of cupcakes that each of her friends received
= (202 - (3 x 14)) ÷ 4
= (202 - 42) ÷ 4
= 160 ÷ 4
= 40
Answer(s): (a)
202 - 3q4; (b) 40
