Penelope baked 150 wafers. She ate 6
e of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of e?
- If e = 13, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Penelope ate = 150 - 6
eNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
150 - 6e4 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (150 - (6 x 13)) ÷ 4
= (150 - 78) ÷ 4
= 72 ÷ 4
= 18
Answer(s): (a)
150 - 6e4; (b) 18
