Xandra baked 228 tarts. She ate 2
m of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of tarts each of her friends received in terms of m?
- If m = 14, how many tarts did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of tarts left after Xandra ate = 228 - 2
mNumber of tarts that each of her friends received =
228 - 2m5 (b)
Number of tarts that each of her friends received
= (228 - (2 x 14)) ÷ 5
= (228 - 28) ÷ 5
= 200 ÷ 5
= 40
Answer(s): (a)
228 - 2m5; (b) 40
