Diana baked 358 biscuits. She ate 2
x of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of biscuits each of her friends received in terms of x?
- If x = 14, how many biscuits did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of biscuits left after Diana ate = 358 - 2
xNumber of biscuits that each of her friends received =
358 - 2x6 (b)
Number of biscuits that each of her friends received
= (358 - (2 x 14)) ÷ 6
= (358 - 28) ÷ 6
= 330 ÷ 6
= 55
Answer(s): (a)
358 - 2x6; (b) 55
