Tina baked 392 puffs. She ate 2
j of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of j?
- If j = 19, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Tina ate = 392 - 2
jNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
392 - 2j6 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received
= (392 - (2 x 19)) ÷ 6
= (392 - 38) ÷ 6
= 354 ÷ 6
= 59
Answer(s): (a)
392 - 2j6; (b) 59
