k of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of k?
- If k = 17, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of macarons left after Sabrina ate = 399 - 3
kNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
399 - 3k6 (b)
