4 students share some stickers.
If 2 new students join the group,
the rest of the students will get 3 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 3
= 12
Number of stickers that each student gets
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
Number of stickers altogether
= 6 x 6
= 36
(b)
Number of stickers the rest of the students each will get
= 36 ÷ 6
= 6
Answer(s): (a) 36; (b) 6
