Jen baked 206 cupcakes. She ate 2
r of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of cupcakes each of her friends received in terms of r?
- If r = 15, how many cupcakes did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of cupcakes left after Jen ate = 206 - 2
rNumber of cupcakes that each of her friends received =
206 - 2r4 (b)
Number of cupcakes that each of her friends received
= (206 - (2 x 15)) ÷ 4
= (206 - 30) ÷ 4
= 176 ÷ 4
= 44
Answer(s): (a)
206 - 2r4; (b) 44
