Lucy baked 191 cookies. She ate 4
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 = 14, how many cookies did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of cookies left after Lucy ate = 191 - 4
xNumber of cookies that each of her friends received =
191 - 4x5 (b)
Number of cookies that each of her friends received
= (191 - (4 x 14)) ÷ 5
= (191 - 56) ÷ 5
= 135 ÷ 5
= 27
Answer(s): (a)
191 - 4x5; (b) 27
