Jane baked 203 wafers. She ate 5
z of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of z?
- If z = 11, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Jane ate = 203 - 5
zNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
203 - 5z4 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (203 - (5 x 11)) ÷ 4
= (203 - 55) ÷ 4
= 148 ÷ 4
= 37
Answer(s): (a)
203 - 5z4; (b) 37
