Stickers are shared among 10 students.
If 5 of the students give up
34 of their share,
the rest of the students will get 9 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
= 10 - 5
= 5
Number of stickers that 5 students gives up
= 5 x 9
= 45
Number of stickers that each student gives up
= 45 ÷ 5
= 9
Number of stickers that each student has at first
= 9 ÷
34= 9 x
43 = 12
Number of stickers altogether
= 10 x 12
= 120
(b)
Number of stickers that each of the rest of the students will have in the end
= 12 + 9
= 21
Answer(s): (a) 120; (b) 21
