7 students share some stickers.
If 3 students give up their shares,
the rest of the students will get 6 more each.
- How many stickers are there altogether?
- How many stickers does the rest of the students each get?
(a)
Number of students that can get the extra stickers
= 7 - 3
= 4
Number of stickers that 3 students give up
= 4 x 6
= 24
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Number of stickers altogether
= 7 x 8
= 56
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students each will get
= 56 ÷ 4
= 14
Answer(s): (a) 56; (b) 14
