Risa baked 208 muffins. She ate 2
y of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of y?
- If y = 11, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Risa ate = 208 - 2
yNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
208 - 2y6 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (208 - (2 x 11)) ÷ 6
= (208 - 22) ÷ 6
= 186 ÷ 6
= 31
Answer(s): (a)
