g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 12, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of macarons left after Olivium ate = 396 - 3
gNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
396 - 3g5 (b)

= (396 - 36) ÷ 5
= 360 ÷ 5
= 72
Answer(s): (a)
