Xylium baked 206 biscuits. She ate 5
n of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of n?
- If n = 16, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Xylium ate = 206 - 5
nNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
206 - 5n6 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (206 - (5 x 16)) ÷ 6
= (206 - 80) ÷ 6
= 126 ÷ 6
= 21
Answer(s): (a)
206 - 5n6; (b) 21
