8 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 8 students will give up
= 8 x 2
= 16
Number of stickers that each student gets
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8
Number of stickers altogether
= 10 x 8
= 80
(b)
Number of stickers the rest of the students each will get
= 80 ÷ 10
= 8
Answer(s): (a) 80; (b) 8
