The problem reads as follows:

"María has sent 40 messages with her mobile in the last week. She sent five to her brother Pepe, three more to her parents than to Pepe, and the rest to her group of friends (pandilla). How many messages did she send to the pandilla?"

### Let's break this down:

- **Total messages sent by María**: 40.
- **Messages to Pepe**: 5.
- **Messages to her parents**: 3 more than to Pepe, so \( 5 + 3 = 8 \).
- **Messages to the pandilla**: The remaining messages.

To find the messages sent to the pandilla, we subtract the messages sent to Pepe and her parents from the total:

\[
\text{Messages to pandilla} = 40 - (5 + 8) = 40 - 13 = 27.
\]

### Answer:
María sent **27 messages** to her pandilla.

2. What if María had sent two fewer messages to her parents, how many would then go to the pandilla?
3. How would the total messages change if María sent 10 more messages overall?
4. Can you find a general formula for the number of messages sent to her pandilla based on the number sent to Pepe?
5. If she had sent 50 messages in total, how many would be left for the pandilla?

**Tip**: For problems like this, systematically breaking down information and using simple arithmetic makes it easier to solve step by step!
