Stickers are shared among 8 students.
If 4 of the students give up
78 of their share,
the rest of the students will get 7 more each.
- How many stickers are there altogether?
- How many stickers will each of the rest of the students have in the end?
(a)
Number of students that can get the extra stickers
= 8 - 4
= 4
Number of stickers that 4 students gives up
= 4 x 7
= 28
Number of stickers that each student gives up
= 28 ÷ 4
= 7
Number of stickers that each student has at first
= 7 ÷
78= 7 x
87 = 8
Number of stickers altogether
= 8 x 8
= 64
(b)
Number of stickers that each of the rest of the students will have in the end
= 8 + 7
= 15
Answer(s): (a) 64; (b) 15
