Marion baked 245 scones. She ate 5
s of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of s?
- If s = 13, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Marion ate = 245 - 5
sNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
245 - 5s4 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (245 - (5 x 13)) ÷ 4
= (245 - 65) ÷ 4
= 180 ÷ 4
= 45
Answer(s): (a)
245 - 5s4; (b) 45
