y of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of y?
- If y = 11, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Jen ate = 162 - 2
yNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
162 - 2y5 (b)
