Yen baked 342 croissants. She ate 4
p of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of croissants each of her friends received in terms of p?
- If p = 13, how many croissants did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of croissants left after Yen ate = 342 - 4
pNumber of croissants that each of her friends received =
342 - 4p5 (b)
Number of croissants that each of her friends received

= (342 - 52) ÷ 5
= 290 ÷ 5
= 58
Answer(s): (a)
