6 students share some stickers.
If 4 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 6 students will give up
= 6 x 2
= 12
Number of stickers that each student gets
= 12 ÷ 4
= 3
Number of stickers altogether
= 10 x 3
= 30
(b)
Number of stickers the rest of the students each will get
= 30 ÷ 10
= 3
Answer(s): (a) 30; (b) 3
