n of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of n?
- If n = 13, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Sabrina ate = 319 - 3
nNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
319 - 3n4 (b)
