p of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of puffs each of her friends received in terms of p?
- If p = 18, how many puffs did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of puffs left after Emily ate = 206 - 5
pNumber of puffs that each of her friends received =
206 - 5p4 (b)
Number of puffs that each of her friends received

= (206 - 90) ÷ 4
= 116 ÷ 4
= 29
Answer(s): (a)
