g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 19, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of macarons left after Risa ate = 219 - 3
gNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
