9 students share some stickers.
If 5 students give up their shares,
the rest of the students will get 10 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
= 9 - 5
= 4
Number of stickers that 5 students give up
= 4 x 10
= 40
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 40 ÷ 5
= 8
Number of stickers altogether
= 9 x 8
= 72
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students each will get
= 72 ÷ 4
= 18
Answer(s): (a) 72; (b) 18
