h of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of h?
- If h = 11, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of macarons left after Penelope ate = 169 - 5
hNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
169 - 5h6 (b)
