4 students share some stickers.
If 3 new students join the group,
the rest of the students will get 6 less each.
- How many stickers are there altogether?
- How many stickers does the rest of the students each get?
(a)
Total number of stickers that the 4 students will give up
= 4 x 6
= 24
Number of stickers that each student gets
= 24 ÷ 3
= 8
Number of stickers altogether
= 7 x 8
= 56
(b)
Number of stickers the rest of the students each will get
= 56 ÷ 7
= 8
Answer(s): (a) 56; (b) 8
