e of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of e?
- If e = 17, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Anna ate = 266 - 2
eNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
266 - 2e4 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (266 - (2 x 17)) ÷ 4
= (266 - 34) ÷ 4
= 232 ÷ 4
= 58
Answer(s): (a)
