6 students share some stickers.
If 2 students give up their shares,
the rest of the students will get 3 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
= 6 - 2
= 4
Number of stickers that 2 students give up
= 4 x 3
= 12
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
Number of stickers altogether
= 6 x 6
= 36
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students each will get
= 36 ÷ 4
= 9
Answer(s): (a) 36; (b) 9
