8 students share some stickers.
If 3 students give up their shares,
the rest of the students will get 6 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
= 8 - 3
= 5
Number of stickers that 3 students give up
= 5 x 6
= 30
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 30 ÷ 3
= 10
Number of stickers altogether
= 8 x 10
= 80
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students each will get
= 80 ÷ 5
= 16
Answer(s): (a) 80; (b) 16
