7 students share some stickers.
If 2 new students join the group,
the rest of the students will get 2 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 7 students will give up
= 7 x 2
= 14
Number of stickers that each student gets
= 14 ÷ 2
= 7
Number of stickers altogether
= 9 x 7
= 63
(b)
Number of stickers the rest of the students each will get
= 63 ÷ 9
= 7
Answer(s): (a) 63; (b) 7
