Abi baked 154 macarons. She ate 2
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 17, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of macarons left after Abi ate = 154 - 2
qNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
154 - 2q4 (b)
Number of macarons that each of her friends received
= (154 - (2 x 17)) ÷ 4
= (154 - 34) ÷ 4
= 120 ÷ 4
= 30
Answer(s): (a)
154 - 2q4; (b) 30
