p of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of p?
- If p = 17, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Fanny ate = 373 - 4
pNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
373 - 4p5 (b)

= (373 - 68) ÷ 5
= 305 ÷ 5
= 61
Answer(s): (a)
