Stickers are shared among 4 students.
If 2 of the students give up
13 of their share,
the rest of the students will get 3 more each.
- How many stickers are there altogether?
- How many stickers does the rest of the students each get?
(a)
Number of students that can get the extra stickers
= 4 - 2
= 2
Number of stickers that 2 students give up
= 2 x 3
= 6
Number of stickers that 1 student gives up
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Number of stickers that each student has at first
= 3 x 3
= 9
Number of stickers altogether
= 4 x 9
= 36
(b)
Number of stickers that the rest of the students will get each
= 9 + 3
= 12
Answer(s): (a) 36; (b) 12
