14 students share some stickers.
If 5 students give up their shares,
the rest of the students will get 5 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
= 14 - 5
= 9
Number of stickers that 5 students give up
= 9 x 5
= 45
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 45 ÷ 5
= 9
Number of stickers altogether
= 14 x 9
= 126
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students each will get
= 126 ÷ 9
= 14
Answer(s): (a) 126; (b) 14
