Adam buys some stickers for his friends.
If he gives each of them 8 stickers, he has 2 stickers left.
If he gives each of them 12 stickers, he needs another 14.
- How many friends are there?
- How many stickers does Adam buy?
(a)
Big difference
= 2 + 14
= 16
Small difference
= 12 - 8
= 4
Number of friends that Adam gives to
= 16 ÷ 4
= 4
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 4 x 8 + 2
= 32 + 2
= 34
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 34
