j of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of cookies each of her friends received in terms of j?
- If j = 19, how many cookies did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of cookies left after Fanny ate = 290 - 2
jNumber of cookies that each of her friends received =
290 - 2j6 (b)
Number of cookies that each of her friends received
= (290 - (2 x 19)) ÷ 6
= (290 - 38) ÷ 6
= 252 ÷ 6
= 42
Answer(s): (a)
290 - 2j6; (b) 42
