10 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
= 10 - 3
= 7
Number of stickers that 3 students give up
= 7 x 6
= 42
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 42 ÷ 3
= 14
Number of stickers altogether
= 10 x 14
= 140
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students each will get
= 140 ÷ 7
= 20
Answer(s): (a) 140; (b) 20
