Gabby baked 332 puffs. She ate 5
z of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of z?
- If z = 16, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Gabby ate = 332 - 5
zNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
332 - 5z6 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (332 - (5 x 16)) ÷ 6
= (332 - 80) ÷ 6
= 252 ÷ 6
= 42
Answer(s): (a)
332 - 5z6; (b) 42
