Rachel baked 258 croissants. She ate 3
t of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of t?
- If t = 18, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Rachel ate = 258 - 3
tNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
258 - 3t4 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received

= (258 - 54) ÷ 4
= 204 ÷ 4
= 51
Answer(s): (a)
258 - 3t4; (b) 51
