Tammy baked 321 wafers. She ate 5
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 15, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Tammy ate = 321 - 5
qNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
321 - 5q6 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (321 - (5 x 15)) ÷ 6
= (321 - 75) ÷ 6
= 246 ÷ 6
= 41
Answer(s): (a)
321 - 5q6; (b) 41
