Yen baked 296 biscuits. She ate 4
z of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of z?
- If z = 14, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Yen ate = 296 - 4
zNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
296 - 4z6 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (296 - (4 x 14)) ÷ 6
= (296 - 56) ÷ 6
= 240 ÷ 6
= 40
Answer(s): (a)
296 - 4z6; (b) 40
