Answer:
Let the no. of friends he has be=x
So, acc. to question:
121-4x=1
•°• x=30
So he has 30 friends.
Step-by-step explanation: since he has x friends and to one friend he gave 4 lollipops
•°• to (x) friends he gave= 4x lollipops
So out of 121 lolipops he gave 4x lolipops so he would be left with ( 121-4x) lollipops and hence the equation.
And I must say this guy is a great friend
