Mary baked 358 scones. She ate 2
v of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of v?
- If v = 19, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Mary ate = 358 - 2
vNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
358 - 2v5 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received

= (358 - 38) ÷ 5
= 320 ÷ 5
= 64
Answer(s): (a)
