Question
Caro bought 33b cupcakes to share with her friends at her birthday party. She gave 3 cupcakes to each of her friends and had 6b cupcakes left. How many friends were there at Caro's party?
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
-
Caro started with 33b cupcakes and ended with 6b cupcakes. This means she gave away 33b - 6b = 27b cupcakes.
-
She gave each friend 3 cupcakes. So, the number of friends she has is the total number of cupcakes she gave away divided by the number of cupcakes each friend received.
-
Therefore, the number of friends at Caro's party is 27b ÷ 3 = 9b.
