g of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of g?
- If g = 16, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Pamela ate = 236 - 6
gNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
236 - 6g5 (b)
