Elyse baked 348 cookies. She ate 3
x of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of cookies each of her friends received in terms of x?
- If x = 11, how many cookies did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of cookies left after Elyse ate = 348 - 3
xNumber of cookies that each of her friends received =
348 - 3x5 (b)
Number of cookies that each of her friends received
= (348 - (3 x 11)) ÷ 5
= (348 - 33) ÷ 5
= 315 ÷ 5
= 63
Answer(s): (a)
348 - 3x5; (b) 63
