Mary baked 335 wafers. She ate 5
y of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of wafers each of her friends received in terms of y?
- If y = 13, how many wafers did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of wafers left after Mary ate = 335 - 5
yNumber of wafers that each of her friends received =
335 - 5y6 (b)
Number of wafers that each of her friends received
= (335 - (5 x 13)) ÷ 6
= (335 - 65) ÷ 6
= 270 ÷ 6
= 45
Answer(s): (a)
335 - 5y6; (b) 45
