Sabrina baked 199 scones. She ate 3
s of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 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 Sabrina ate = 199 - 3
sNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
199 - 3s5 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
= (199 - (3 x 13)) ÷ 5
= (199 - 39) ÷ 5
= 160 ÷ 5
= 32
Answer(s): (a)
199 - 3s5; (b) 32
