Stickers are shared among 6 students.
If 2 of the students give up
23 of their share,
the rest of the students will get 3 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
= 6 - 2
= 4
Number of stickers that 2 students gives up
= 4 x 3
= 12
Number of stickers that each student gives up
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
Number of stickers that each student has at first
= 6 ÷
23= 6 x
32 = 9
Number of stickers altogether
= 6 x 9
= 54
(b)
Number of stickers that each of the rest of the students will have in the end
= 9 + 3
= 12
Answer(s): (a) 54; (b) 12
