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