n of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of n?
- If n = 17, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Mary ate = 206 - 4
nNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
206 - 4n6 (b)
