Jolly had some burgers. he ate two burgers and then he divided the remaining burger amongst his friends. he has five friends. every friend received two burgers. how many burgers did jolly start with

12 burgers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jolly had x burgers. If he eats two burgers then remaining burgers = (x-2)

Now he divides these remaining burgers among his five friends. Then each friend gets 2 burgers.

So the equation will be

We further simplify this equation to get the value of x.

(x-2) = 2 × 5

(x-2) = 10

x = 10 + 2

x = 12

Therefore, there were 12 burgers.
