Gwen baked 378 muffins. She ate 3
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 11, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Gwen ate = 378 - 3
qNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
378 - 3q5 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (378 - (3 x 11)) ÷ 5
= (378 - 33) ÷ 5
= 345 ÷ 5
= 69
Answer(s): (a)
378 - 3q5; (b) 69
