Shiyun baked 316 croissants. She ate 3
t of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of t?
- If t = 12, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Shiyun ate = 316 - 3
tNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
316 - 3t5 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received
= (316 - (3 x 12)) ÷ 5
= (316 - 36) ÷ 5
= 280 ÷ 5
= 56
Answer(s): (a)
316 - 3t5; (b) 56
