Mary baked 199 wafers. She ate 4
w of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of w?
- If w = 16, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Mary ate = 199 - 4
wNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
199 - 4w5 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (199 - (4 x 16)) ÷ 5
= (199 - 64) ÷ 5
= 135 ÷ 5
= 27
Answer(s): (a)
199 - 4w5; (b) 27
