q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 4 friends.
- Find the number of macarons each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 19, how many macarons did each of her friends receive?

Number of macarons left after Natalie ate = 355 - 5
qNumber of macarons that each of her friends received =
