t of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of t?
- If t = 11, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Emma ate = 362 - 2
tNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
362 - 2t5 (b)

= (362 - 22) ÷ 5
= 340 ÷ 5
= 68
Answer(s): (a)
