Sarah baked 262 puffs. She ate 2
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 14, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Sarah ate = 262 - 2
qNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
262 - 2q6 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (262 - (2 x 14)) ÷ 6
= (262 - 28) ÷ 6
= 234 ÷ 6
= 39
Answer(s): (a)
262 - 2q6; (b) 39
