Answer:
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
[tex]\frac{(x-2)}{5}=2[/tex]
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.
