Julie baked 366 shortbreads. She ate 2
p of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of shortbreads each of her friends received in terms of p?
- If p = 13, how many shortbreads did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of shortbreads left after Julie ate = 366 - 2
pNumber of shortbreads that each of her friends received =
366 - 2p5 (b)
Number of shortbreads that each of her friends received
= (366 - (2 x 13)) ÷ 5
= (366 - 26) ÷ 5
= 340 ÷ 5
= 68
Answer(s): (a)
366 - 2p5; (b) 68
