Adam buys some stickers for his friends.
If he gives each of them 6 stickers, he has 2 stickers left.
If he gives each of them 10 stickers, he needs another 26.
- How many friends are there?
- How many stickers does Adam buy?
(a)
Big difference
= 2 + 26
= 28
Small difference
= 10 - 6
= 4
Number of friends that Adam gives to
= 28 ÷ 4
= 7
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 7 x 6 + 2
= 42 + 2
= 44
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 44
