z of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of z?
- If z = 11, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Diana ate = 211 - 6
zNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
211 - 6z5 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
