Dana baked 176 croissants. She ate 4
g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 14, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Dana ate = 176 - 4
gNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
176 - 4g5 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received

= (176 - 56) ÷ 5
= 120 ÷ 5
= 24
Answer(s): (a)
