Esther baked 286 puffs. She ate 2
h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 17, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Esther ate = 286 - 2
hNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
286 - 2h4 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (286 - (2 x 17)) ÷ 4
= (286 - 34) ÷ 4
= 252 ÷ 4
= 63
Answer(s): (a)
286 - 2h4; (b) 63
