Min baked 373 biscuits. She ate 5
v of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of v?
- If v = 17, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Min ate = 373 - 5
vNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
373 - 5v4 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received

= (373 - 85) ÷ 4
= 288 ÷ 4
= 72
Answer(s): (a)
