d of them and divided the remainder equally among her 6 friends.
- Find the number of scones each of her friends received in terms of d?
- If d = 11, how many scones did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of scones left after Shiyun ate = 374 - 4
dNumber of scones that each of her friends received =
374 - 4d6 (b)
Number of scones that each of her friends received
